Kerry Lemieux is free to skydive with Z-cup plastic breasts in 2023, but will the Halton District School Board’s decision to create a dress code prevent the trans shop teacher from wearing the controversial attire that has put her in the spotlight.
In a major reversal that could possibly prevent Lemieux from wearing giant prosthetic breasts, the HDSB on Jan. 3 directed staff to develop a “professional standards of dress” policy.
Since September, Lemieux has taught at Oakville Trafalgar High School, wearing extra-large, retail-purchased breasts with artificial nipples under a tight top, along with flex shorts and a blonde wig. While many students and parents have expressed concern this actually mocks women and makes a mockery of the education experience, the board has supported the teacher’s right to dress in this manner.
Until possibly now.
“Be it resolved that the Director (of Education Curtis Ennis) develop a professionalism policy which outlines the HDSB’s expectations of all staff members, including the requirement to maintain appropriate and professional standards of dress and decorum in the classroom,” said the unanimous motion.
This report is expected to be completed by next month. Until then, Lemieux is free to dress as she has been seen in videos and pictures from inside the classroom, hallways, skydiving or more recently walking with a cast boot on a foot that suffered an unknown injury. While the instructor was seen teaching in several other HDSB schools in December, there was no sighting on Monday, the first day students returned to class after the Christmas holidays.
Calling for “appropriate” and “professional” wardrobe and “decorum” is a departure from November when Sari Taha, the school board’s superintendent of human resources, warned “implementation of a formal staff dress code or grooming standards would likely expose the board to considerable liability” and even if “a dress code is implemented for non-discriminatory reasons, it would likely be found to be discriminatory where it adversely affects an employee or group or employees on the basis of their code-protected grounds.”
While people around the world laughed, this board has had no easy answer for this tricky dilemma in today’s woke society where dealing with delicate issues can lead to cancellation, firing or ostracization. Fearing backlash, concerned parents formed an anonymous protest group, offering no names.
But, as reported in December by Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley, Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce challenged the board to do something.
“I think the bottom line and our position is that when kids are in front of staff, we expect them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism,” Lecce said last month. “Many families in the community have expressed profound concern with the management of this issue, and so we reaffirm our expectation, with the school boards, as employers, that they act in the interest of children, and they listen to the voices and families of the kids themselves in various schools.”
It appeared the HDSB acted. But late Monday, Ennis cast doubt.
“The HDSB’s commitment to human rights remains rooted in our core values and commitment to each and every student and staff who identifies as a member of an underserved and underrepresented group, and our approach is informed by opinions from leading employment law firms with human rights and equity advisors. This commitment and approach will continue to be applied as the HDSB looks to fulfill this motion,” said Ennis.
While Students First Ontario was optimistic the board has taken a “positive step in the right direction,” and “hope the board is serious about introducing professional standards for staff that will serve to remedy the situation” the group suggested parents be consulted, contending the director and the board appear to be on different pages.
Meanwhile, until the board votes March 1, all eyes are on HDSB classrooms to see if Lemieux returns in the attire which has garnered her international attention.

500 years from now, if an archeologist digs up this shop teacher (assuming the coffin is not L-Shaped to accommodate the Amazon Bought Boobs), & using the tools available (DNA, Pelvic bone, etc…), is she going to identify this specimen as a he or a she (?) or does the self-identify thing just fall by the wayside?She.
But I agree, she's making a mockery of a lot of things.
Good that they're putting the dress code in! 'Bout freakin' time.

Yeah, Gender and Biology are two different things in certain circles (unless I have the terms wrong) but I doubt the archeologist will study the remains to determine that it (the specimen) self-identified as anything beyond the obvious biological markers, but who knows? Maybe by that point DNA markers might show that “If this dude didn’t identify as a woman, he should have” or something along those lines.
There are no such genetic markers for gender other than those for sex which is very closely related but not quite the same. And many in the LGBNUMEROUSLETTERS community would insist that's the case, demanding that gender is a social construct exclusively. Mind you some say sex is a social construct rather than biological and there's no biological difference between men and women (yet still demand women aren't treated equally as men) .Yeah, Gender and Biology are two different things in certain circles (unless I have the terms wrong) but I doubt the archeologist will study the remains to determine that it (the specimen) self-identified as anything beyond the obvious biological markers, but who knows?

Pretty easy to call bullshit on that story and chuck it on the compost pileMysterious Iron Age Burial May Hold Remains of Elite Nonbinary Person
The Finnish grave's occupant likely had Klinefelter syndrome, meaning they were born with an extra copy of the X chromosomewww.smithsonianmag.com
Considering we have much more in the way of things to leave behind, I'm sure archaeologists from the future will figure it out.
Bill Gates & his ilk will be quite happy to hear about this!
This isn't the first time I've heard of this. Really horrific, that's for sure. It's bad enough that adults are confusing our kids about being "trans" without legally being able to consent but hey, that's ok.
Still horrific...

Holy Shit! This Money was evil! This Bruce/Brenda/David went through Hell beyond originally having his Dick electrically Burned off as an infant…as an experiment by Money that eventually took out that whole family.Show us you don't get the issue by talking about the issue.

This is the kind of story that you would expect to come out of a Nazi concentration camp from the World War II era. Medical experiments on twin children with really no regard to their well-being….& then the annual sexual exploration bullshit with the doctor, including both children? Damn…
Argument by anecdote in 3. . . 2. . . 1. . .Pretty much, though evil doesn't seem apt; I don't think there's a word that covers what kind of absolute monster Money was.
Same thing with many of the genetic experiments done on twins in the concentration camps I guess. Some extremely valuable medical knowledge with respect to hypothermia, was also gained at the same time in the same place.There is a brightside. A lot of knowledge was gained.
