If that had happened at my school sixty years ago that teacher would have been toast. Not because it was a different time, different era, but because the pupils wouldn't have taken prisoners. You needed nerves of steel to be a teacher in 1950's Britain.

I can just conjure up the scene. "Sir, your boobs are looking angry.............maybe they need more support.
Thinking about the joker in our class: "Sir, do you call the cleavage between your breasts, Silicon Valley?"
Another gem springs to mind: "Sir, is that falsies you're wearing, or a booby trap?"

The school admins are wise to stand behind the teacher; it's a battle they cannot win. Eventually the teacher's "pay attention to me" gambit will cease to be novel.

Yes, this teacher's exaggerated prosthetics are over the top. On the other hand, when I grew up even subtle LGBTQs were the subject of witchhunts, lynched, vilified, humiliated, shamed, shunned, estranged by family and friends, fired without cause, arrested, and largely forced to live their lives in secret - or to marry in a heterosexual union despite having little attraction to their spouse.

Many were suicidal and a fair number succeeded in their quest to end their misery.

I'll gladly take someone wearing giant boob prosthetics over a return to what we were.
 
I don't so mind about the changing sex story, but the humongous phony breasts are too much. I'd suspend the teacher a week without pay. With termination if he tries to pull that stunt again. No student would learn anything with all of the laughing, snickering, & giggling going on.
 
My first reaction is So what? I've met trans people, people who dressed weirdly, etc., most of whom were good people. Why should a teacher have to look "normal"?

Has anyone asked the students if it interferes with their learning?

If I remember correctly, students laughed and snickered about everything and nothing. But I think today's youth are more sophisticated and compassionate than my generation.

I draw a line in this case, though, because this is a high school teacher. I won't be surprised if at least one her students comes to class with an oversized, rubber dildo in his trousers. This just isn't the place. Classrooms need as few distractions from learning as possible. Teachers should set good examples of proper decorum, consideration for others, and respect for academics and learning. Take learning seriously and take the humongous boobs elsewhere.

Would you approve if you had a transgender student son who dressed like that to look feminine :unsure:
 
I treat folks as individuals, not as members of some currently-'woke' group with axes to grind. Unfortunately, my current employer is all-in for group identity, whether racial or se...al, and I'm getting tired having that flag waved in my face. It's all just a mechanism to avoid relating to people as they are. These folks trying to indoctrinate children in their own abnormalities have a problem between their ears, not their legs.

If he was student age, i.e., under 18, it would be my concern if it caused problems that affected me. For example, if people were throwing rocks at our window or something.

But we were talking about an adult.

Not if my teen and pre-teen grandkids, nephews, nieces, and neighbors are considered average US high and junior high students. They include upper-middle class, middle class, and low-income 12 to 18 year old kids.

I'm estimating percentages here, but I'd say that 95% of them think all teachers are stupid, and they learn more from their friends and Twitch, YouTube, and other streaming sites than from their teachers. 80% feel that school is a total waste of time, and 70% of those think school should be taught online for 2 hours a day (maximum). 60% feel there's too much politics in school and that teachers talk too much about current political issues. All of these kids have said they mainly go to school to see their friends, and 90% feel they don't really learn anything in school.

As for compassion, that's limited to things that effect the kids directly. Probably 70 to 80% of the kids I'm talking about would laugh and giggle at that teacher. The girls for sure would cringe and say "OMG, get me double-O H! (out of here!)." That teacher's fake boobs would have no societal or political significance whatsoever to your average teen. It'd be a joke, period.
