Teacher Kayla Lemieux, who once caused a sensation at Oakville Trafalgar High School, is coming back into the spotlight, because as soon as school starts in September, she will change places to teach at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton, and the school is currently preparing for the new teacher, who was previously considered male and now considered female with huge breasts. Wearing a blonde wig and lipstick. Previously, the media had been reporting that she was wearing huge fake breasts, but she herself said that the breasts were real, and she just had a rare disease that caused excessive breast growth.
However, there is no support for her statement.

In a memorandum to parents obtained by The Toronto Sun, Principal Tom Fisher said schools at the Hamilton-Wentworth School District School Board "have an obligation to uphold individual rights and treat everyone with dignity and respect" and "if there is any disruption or protest to the school; We are committed to communicating with you as openly and frequently as possible to ensure student safety and to share any operational plans. ”

The principal stressed to parents what he said was a return to the classroom by transgender teacher Kayla Lemieux could cause outrage and potential controversy from the media, including special entry and exit plans.
These include "having students use designated doors to enter and exit the building at entrance and after school" and "lock the exterior door during school hours and use the front door only during school hours," while "all students and visitors are required to use an intercom system for entering and exiting the building," and asking parents to "email or call before coming to school if they want to come to school to talk to staff." ”
In order to adapt to Lemieux and ensure the comfort and acceptance of teachers, many places are being relocated.
The Board of Education told the Toronto Sun on Friday, "In an effort to be transparent with our community, the HWDSB communicated the steps we are taking to facilitate the smooth return of students and the wider community to school, and we have recently communicated with a number of parents to inform them that their child's school may generate greater public interest." ”

Last year, Holden District School Authority's Oakville Trafalgar High School attracted global media attention. The school suffered bomb threats, and faculty and staff were eventually forced to furlough. It's unclear whether Lemieux will teach arts and crafts or other subjects at the new school.

While Lemieux did not respond to questions about transferring to another school, the principal of Hamilton High School echoed the HWDSB's message in a memo to parents.
The principal said that we are writing to you today because we anticipate that Nora Frances Henderson, the school your child attends this year, may receive a certain level of public attention and we want to communicate what this means for you, your child and our school.

While he did not specifically name Lemieux, he did tell parents that the teacher was "an experienced educator" who "recently became a topic of public concern for his gender expression while teaching at a school in another community."
But the Principal insisted that while "there are no security concerns at this time", we are communicating with you early on to ensure a smooth return to campus for students and the wider community, and are prepared for a variety of scenarios, including possible media attention and protests. ”

Lemieux has spoken to media outlets including the Toronto Sun in the past. She said doctors diagnosed her with a rare "XX chromosome" condition and that "hormone sensitivity to estrogen" caused breast overgrowth. However, Lemieux never provided any medical documents to back up this claim.
Lemieux said at the time that the diagnosis was based on my verbal discussions with doctors and that I was never asked to provide explanations or letters from these findings. So I have nothing to give you.
Lemieux didn't think it was appropriate to ask, she said: "I don't think women generally go for a formal diagnosis of their breast size, and I personally don't think breast size matters... I decided to break the silence.
She said that I never felt obligated to disclose my personal information because of the special interest of the media, and I never needed any attention... The reason I want to share this information is to demystify me and let people know me better as a person.
This is also what the school wants.
The Principal said that our top priority is the success of our students and we are committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive and professional environment conducive to their learning.
Time will tell – students will return to their classrooms on September 5.
