Has Canadian teacher Kayla Lemieux, known for wearing a wig and flaunting giant prosthetic breasts under form-fitting tops, packed them for the upcoming school year?
With just days to go before students begin classes at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario, exclusive photos from DailyMail.com reveal the 40-year-old appears as a man at work — leading many to wonder if it was all a hoax.
Lemieux had nothing to say when a DailyMail.com reporter asked why she claimed the breasts were real, nor did the teacher respond when asked if she would appear in classes as a woman or a man this school year.
Parents were outraged when photos circulated last fall of Lemieux working at Oakville Trafalgar High School.
The controversial teacher insisted the massive breasts are real — a result of a condition called “gigantomastia” — and said she’s not transgender, but intersex, meaning born with male and female sex organs.
Lemieux admitted she had nothing of a doctor to back up the claims.

‘Gigantomastia’, also known as breast hypertrophy, is a rare condition in which extremely large breasts develop as a result of excessive breast growth tissue. It affects people assigned female at birth.
According to the Ontario College of Teachers, which certifies educators, “Kerry Luc Lemieux” has been a teacher in “good standing” since 2006.
The name Kerry is gender neutral and of Irish origin.
Lemieux was arrested earlier this year when photos surfaced in public without a wig and prosthetics. Lemieux told the Toronto Sun that she was not the man in the photos.
This week Lemieux was at Nora Frances Henderson High School, dressed as a man and sporting a scruff of the neck on his face.
The teacher wore a face mask behind the wheel of their car on Thursday as she emerged from their apartment’s underground parking garage and made the 19-mile journey — past the Jug City supermarket — to the school.
In a letter to parents, Principal Tom Fisher warned of “potential local media attention and protests” when the school reopens on September 6 due to the hiring of an “experienced teacher” who was “recently the subject of public attention, with regard to to their gender expression, while teaching at a school in another community.’
Fisher did not name Lemieux, but outlined precautions, including “allowing students to enter and exit the building through the assigned doors on entry and exit” and “locking exterior doors during school hours, using only the front door during school hours.”
Fisher could not be reached for comment.
On the school’s website, Lemieux’s name does not appear in the faculty directory, which has not been updated since April.
Lemieux began transitioning from male to female in 2021. Photos of the teacher at work went viral, sparking outrage from concerned parents

At their former school, Lemieux was listed in the directory as Kayla – before it was taken offline.
Lemieux was sent home earlier this year after the Halton District School Board (HDSB) failed to enact a dress code that would have tamed the teacher’s cartoonish appearance.
The HDSB complained that its hands were tied because of the province’s human rights code.
“The HDSB recognizes the rights of students, staff, parents/guardians and community members to fair treatment without discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression,” the board said in a statement. “Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code.”
Lemieux had nothing to say when a DailyMail.com reporter asked why she claimed the breasts were real, nor would she say whether she will appear in classes as a woman or a man this school year.
Lemieux’s new employer, the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board — for whom she previously worked when she taught at Ancaster High School — declined to comment, citing the right to privacy.

It may not matter to some students.
‘It doesn’t really matter to me. It has no consequences for me’, said a male student playing football with friends on the field behind the school on the last days of the summer holidays. “I think everyone will make videos of her for TikTok and whatever, but not me.”
His friend agreed. “My parents told me about it, but I don’t care. Let her be. It shouldn’t be such a big deal.’
Halton Regional Police will not disclose what action will be taken when classes resume next week, but a significant police presence is expected. The school, which opened in 2020, is located on a cul-de-sac and surrounded by fields.
There are several security cameras on the building and signs warning that “violators may be removed and/or prosecuted.”
