...Is my answer. To this:
Most will be familiar with the following scenario: a young girl, a teen or tween, gets in trouble with her school’s administration for a dress-code violation. Her supposed crime against decency: looking provocative. It will turn out that the girl was wearing some normal teenager outfit, jeans and a T-shirt or something equally boring, but had the audacity to attend school in a body with breasts, hips and a post-pubescent-looking behind… She is not choosing to draw attention to herself simply by existing. It’s the fault of the adults around her for sexualising her.
This obviously takes place in America, as we have school uniforms over here. I won't speculate as to the truth of it, but I drive past two schools on my way to work and there are many school girls who sexualise themselves by wearing their skirts so short, thier arses are often hanging out
But that's beside the point. The actual point the author of this article is trying to make, is that a teacher wearing huge fake breasts in class is not a problem
But in a twist to the typical narrative, this time around, a high-school teacher in Oakville, Ont., made headlines for her curvaceous classroom presence.
This is a 'curvaceous classroom presence'.
Conflating LGBT identity with inappropriateness or, as in conservative parlance, “grooming,” is bigoted and cruel, as well as simply a category error… Is it fair to say that a transgender teacher really chose to have large breasts, any more than that a young cisgender girl chose her own physique? Are those who balk at the Oakville teacher engaged in body shaming?
No. Primarily because this isn't his body. Seconly because, this has nothing at all to do with LGBT identity, it's an obvious mental illness. Nothing else
Gender identity is not a choice. However, showing up to teach in cartoonish fake breasts is one. It’s a choice to wear what is effectively a fetish outfit while teaching, in a way that is visible to all.
This flickering of realism is, however, unfashionable, and therefore short-lived.
Now, is it traumatising to high school students to have a teacher who looks the way she does? I suspect not.
It may not be traumatising and I doubt anyone is trying to say it is. Very distracting and downright ridiculous, it is. Image being a child expected to learn, in an environment created by a mentally ill teacher who wants to be a Hentai
No, the people this story will harm most – as it already has, after being picked up by the right and used to attack communities more broadly – are the many LGBT teachers who are trying to go about their lives
They certainly will be harmed. Not by the people calling out this tomfoolery, but by the big breasted buffon himself. They will forever be associated with people who get up to this, over sexualised clownery in the classroom and much less able to just 'go about thier lives'.
The old saying that there's always one who ruins it for the rest, applies here. Although in LGBTQ+ activism circles, it's not just one. There's a whole movement of perverts who want to bring down everyone else
It feels like the progressive thing to do is to support this teacher’s right to self-present in the classroom as she does, or at least to honour her side in the matter
I disgree. I think the correct course of action is to section this man and give him the treatment he needs. We don't do that in our 'modern progressive' society though, do we?
That leaves one other option. Play them at their own game
The young girl in jeans and a t-shirt referenced earlier, should attend classes wearing a huge strap on penis. It should be fully erect, preferably black and at least two to three feet long
Let's find out if everyone has the same right 'to self-present'. Somehow I doubt it
