The Kayla Lemieux show cancelled; no longer at Oakville school

It was, ironically, a picture of an Oakville teacher reportedly dressed as a man — not ones of the shop instructor clothed as a busty woman — that led to that person‘s departure from the classroom.
But it is now official that teacher Kayla Lemieux, known previously as Kerry Lemieux, is no longer teaching at Oakville Trafalgar High School.
“While not currently on an active assignment, the teacher remains employed with the HDSB (Halton District School Board),” said board spokesperson Heather Francey.
It was still a rare comment on a personnel matter from the board, which has said little these past seven months since Lemieux showed up in industrial arts class wearing a wig, lipstick, shorts and displaying Z-cup breasts with protruding nipples under a tight-fitting sweater.
It has been a circus ever since.

Bomb threats, protests, raucous school board meetings, photos of a skydiving adventure, photographs of unsafe practices near cutting machines, sitting next to a student who was vaping, and even a broken foot fitted into a plastic boot-cast fed the soap opera on this mysterious teacher.
The board has supported Lemieux throughout.
But the New York Post newspaper hired a Toronto photographer to work with their reporters to learn more about Kayla Lemieux, and spent a month doing research. While the Post’s team took pictures and video of Lemieux dressed as a woman, it also captured an image which the paper claimed showed Lemieux without breasts and dressed in men’s attire. That changed the game and resulted in Lemieux never being in class again.
While the teacher told The Toronto Sun the picture was “not me,” the Post stuck by it, insisting they knew the teacher’s routine, car, licence plate, apartment building, and neighbours.
Despite people in the building telling media the picture is a ringer of the male version of Lemieux, the teacher remained defiant.
“I can’t tell you who that is because I don’t want to bring anyone else into this,” Lemieux told the Post. “I don’t want that person being thrown all over the media, but it wasn’t me … this is who I am. This is how I look. You’ve been talking to people in my building, but what they’re telling you is harsh and untrue. I am always going out looking the way I am.”
When asked if her appearance ever differed from the way she looked at the time, Lemieux told the Post, “I guess if I took my wig off or took my makeup off” but “I would still have breasts. You can’t hide them.”
The teacher claimed a “rare” condition called “gigantomastia” and that “XX chromosomes” and “hormone sensitivity to estrogen” played a role in this “intersex”-born person growing extra-large breasts.
The controversy generated by the Post story sent shockwaves through the school, the board and the offices of high-ranking officials in the Ontario Ministry of Education.
When challenged to provide a diagnosis to support the natural-grown breasts assertion, Lemieux said “the diagnosis is based on verbal discussions I have had with my doctor,” and “I never requested a note or letter of these findings.”
Unless any of Lemieux’s claims could be medically verified, sources said, there was no path for this teacher to return to the classroom.
While education officials, fellow staffers and law enforcement were doubtful on the authenticity claims, Lemieux was stubborn, telling me “I don’t think women, in general, have a formal diagnosis of their breast size,” and “now I am being asked to provide proof. I really don’t know how to help you with that.”
It was a standoff. A she-said, they-said scenario.
This teacher was put on paid leave Tuesday when Education Minister Stephen Lecce, as well as Halton Region MPPs Natalie Pierre, Stephen Crawford, and Effie Triantafilopoulos all blasted the board for having “abdicated its responsibility by failing to put the interests and safety of students first.”
The board responded and while Lemieux is out of the school, “we continue to support the teacher in partnership with OSSTF (Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation.)”
A big story for months, interest in the Lemieux affair is now flattening. This has quickly changed from a public safety issue to one of personal support for a teacher, who is now said to be receiving some.
Several parents who complained are now saying as long as the bomb threats stop, they are ready to move on.

Kayla Lemieux no longer in classroom but parents wonder what's next

Kayla Lemieux may no longer be in the classroom at Oakville Trafalgar High School, but students, staff and parents remain in the dark as to whether the shop teacher could one day return.
If not at OTHS, perhaps at another school?
While the Halton District School Board has indicated the 39-year-old male teacher — who claims to be intersex, identifies as a female and insists large breasts are from a rare condition and not prosthetics — has said Lemieux is no longer assigned to a school, it’s unclear what happens next.
Could the teacher be reshuffled somewhere else?
For this reason, the Students First Ontario group that pushed the board to deal with the Lemieux situation and has been pressing for a new set of rules revolving around professional representation in the classroom has started a new GoFundMe campaign to help pay for legal fees.
Celina Close, one of the organizers who appeared on Newstalk 1010 Thursday morning with John Moore and later spoke to the Sun, made the point that “this was never about Kayla Lemieux” but “always about the students in the classroom, their future, their safety, their learning.”
Thanks to the international circus that was the Lemieux story, all of those things the school was supposed to be about for the kids, it no longer was.
“Students were terrified,” said Close.
Now the board has to clean up the mess that was left behind. But it’s the same people who caused the disaster that are now the one’s who will fix it.
Close said parents are skeptical.
And parents across the province are expressing concern as well.
One parent of an 11-year-old has come forward with an example at the Upper Grand District School Board (UGDSB) in Guelph where in the middle of the Lemieux saga Grade 6 students were asked to do a book report on several books including one called L’Ouragan et moi, which in English translates to The Hurricane and Me.
A translation of the explanation of the book from the publisher states: “My father knew from a very young age that he was a girl, not a boy. We, my mother and I, we didn’t know… Louis had kept that in the bottom of his heart, like a really secret secret. Not a little secret like a piece of cake eaten on the sly, no. A real secret that we keep to ourselves because it is too big to be shared. So, in 2013, Louis gave way to Ingrid. But not everyone understands the situation, so Philemon is sometimes teased at school.
The parent told The Toronto Sun that there’s nothing wrong with an author writing about “a biracial family” where “the white father decides he wants to now be a white women” and the “son is so happy he now has two moms.”
But what is wrong is that the “parents were not told about it” and found it in the child’s school bag.
“Our kids have missed so much school with the pandemic, we have that Oakville teacher being allowed to teach our kids wearing that outrageous outfit and now our kids are having to read books like this and give a presentation” while parents are given no heads up about.
Just like with what happened In Halton, this parent said there is a feeling of helplessness.
“I feel that if I reach out to the school or school board, I’ll be called transphobic and my kid may be punished.”
The student did not do the report on this book.
But parents wonder just what will happen in their kids’ classroom next.
An UGDSB spokesperson told the Sun on Friday that L’Ouragan et moi “is part of the nation-wide Forest of Reading program, it is not a classroom resource. The Forest of Reading is a recreational reading program that is for readers of all ages across Canada. The program is an optional program that any reader may participate in. The program features different reading lists that are targeted for different age groups. Participants choose what books they would like to read and can vote on their favourites at the end of the program.
“Participants are not required to read all the books on the Forest of Reading lists.”

WARMINGTON: Kayla Lemieux no longer in classroom but parents wonder what's next
Kayla Lemieux is no longer in the classroom at Oakville Trafalgar High School, but parents wonder if the shop teacher could one day return.
Well, as long as he didn't come out as a whiny-ass Canadian Conservative, it's all good.
And how many of the above pictured flounced around in women's clothes in schools and libraries to push it on kids as "normal"?
She keeps posting actors cross-dressing.
They arent doing it for fetish reasons.
One could say Mrs Doubtfire is a movie about mens rights or lack there of. The story is about a man dressing as a nanny to illegally see his children.
Same goes for Bosom Buddies. They couldn't get an apartment because they were men.
Jitter Ritter in 3s Company... playing a gay to share an apartment with women.

Yes, the horrendous discrimination suffered by White men for centuries is heartbreaking.
Apparently of its the theme of a movie and a couple sitcoms.
PS 1/2 the people on the planet are men. Its not exclusive to whites.
Unless you want it to be that way? Do you want only white men?
But that would require surgery too, would have to graft on bigger balls.
Florida courts could allow 'emergency' custody of kids with trans parents or siblings — even if they live in another state
Senate Bill 254 would allow Florida courts to end or modify out-of-state custody agreements if a child is allowed to take hormones or puberty blockers.

So, now they're legalizing Kidnapping.
Good job, Florida.

Transgenderism is a mental health disorder.
Would anyone give a shit if someone said they wanted to eradicate schizophrenia?

Until 1973, homosexuality was a mental disorder, according the the DSM you seem to think is the last word.
