Goofy themes I see at homecoming are kids dressed up wearing stuff like flippers with pajamas while wearing an inner tube and snorkeling mask. A clown wig and Inside out clothes. Shoes on the wrong feet and other goofy stuff. ---

Reading these examples of “goofy hijinx” killed a little bit of my soul. You sound like someone who read about the concept of “fun” in a book once, but has never had any personal experience with it. ---

You sound like someone who read about the concept of “fun” in a book once, but has never had any personal experience with it. Last week was homecoming week and this is what the kids came up with for one of the themed spirit days as posted on the school FB page. They looked like they were having a lot of fun. What do the kids do at your local high school for spirit/ homecoming week? ---

Lucky for them you pretend they don’t exist because to do otherwise you’re creeping on teenagers? ---

Walking around in fetish gear in a school is sexual harassment of every girl who goes to that school and sees her developing female form mocked and sexualised right out in public. It’s public pornified behaviour and it absolutely deserves to be mocked and shamed everywhere. As child abuse goes it’s not quite as bad as [gaslighting girls into mutilating themselves](https://twitter.com/G_This_IsTheWay/status/1576632512662556672) but it’s all part of the same movement. Are you sure you really want to be supporting it? ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > Quick question. If I find the use of gigantic prosthetic boobs to be insulting and demeaning to women (emphasizing one physical externality that defines “womanhood” and making it ridiculous; created for the male gaze; belittles the pain/experience of women who have to deal with it), am I transphobic? Even if the gender of the person using them is irrelevant? I was wondering if this teacher wears them all the time, or just to make a point in shop class? ---

Maybe the point was the teacher wanted to try on the clamps see how they fit. ---

It’s public pornified behaviour and it absolutely deserves to be mocked and shamed everywhere. Prove it. Show us the cite for your claim…something you’re stating as fact that “Walking around in fetish gear in a school is sexual harassment of every girl who goes to that school and sees her developing female form mocked and sexualised right out in public.” Seriously, show me the study you read that proves this statement. Please make sure the cite also defines “fetish gear” and “public pornified behavior” Regarding that tweet, keep mind no one is suggesting a transmale may regret their decision to have top surgery, but that’s not what this thread, or even this hijack, is about. ---

Is a peer reviewed study required? You want your daughters and sons in a control group subjected to pornofied behavior? ---

Are you sure you really want to be supporting it? You really just wanted to drag in that second paragraph, didn’t you? Wanted to show how icky it is? That’s off-topic (again) and you should be banned from discussing trans-anything. As to your first paragraph, you’d have to know the teacher’s motivations to make such a claim, which you don’t.
