One Canadian school district has chosen to stand behind a biologically male teacher that has sparked an uproar online over the wearing of overtly massive prosthetic breasts, as stated in a recent report.
Videos and pictures have been making their rounds all over the web which show the shop teacher making use of a table saw and talking to the gathered students all while sporting a massive fake bust, complete with prominent and erect nipples. The teacher in these pictures and videos has been officially identified as Kayle Lemieux, who was previously known as Stephen Hanna and is still employed at Oakville Trafalgar High School in Ontario, as reported by Reduxx, which was able to get an email that was distributed to parents from the district about the issue.
“We are aware of discussion on social media and in the media regarding Oakville Trafalgar High School,” stated the message sent out to parents. “We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate to our community that we are committed to establishing and maintaining a safe, caring, inclusive, equitable and welcoming learning and working environment for all students and staff.”

The email from the district did not make mention of Lemieux by name, but seemed to obviously be sent out as a means of defense for the teacher’s right to wear the odd prosthetic as a method of “gender expression.”
“We strive to promote a positive learning environment in schools consistent with the values of the HDSB and to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students, staff and the community, regardless of race, age, ability, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, socioeconomic circumstances or body type/size,” stated the email.
Additional videos of Lemieux sporting the fake breasts under an overtly tight top with shorts or a miniskirt were highlighted by Libs of TikTok and many others which first kicked off suspicion about the entire incident being a hoax or a joke.

Quite a few seemed to try to garner the attention of the Minister of Education for Ontario, and the Premier of the province, Doug Ford.
Oakville Trafalgar High School is managed by the Halton District School Board (HDSB), which puts heavy emphasis on the promotion of radical gender theory, as reported by Reduxx, an independent, pro-feminist outlet. Just roughly a year ago, the school district put out its own guidelines concerning Gender Identity And Gender Expression in Schools.
Margo Shuttleworth, the Chair of HDSB, stated to the Toronto Sun that the school staff is very concerned about the safety of Lemieux on Monday once classes kick back off.
“There will the protesters and the anti-protesters,” stated Shuttleworth. “I do know there have been phone calls made to the school that haven’t been the most pleasant in nature.”
“This teacher is an extremely effective teacher,” expressed Shuttleworth. “All the kids really love being in the class.”
