What's the point of bringing up a Filipino-American (who is a member of religious cult) in this? The person you brought up isn't even a transgender person.

What sub said, basically, Tucker is not in any way "on point" here. People have been engaging in extreme body modification for longer than modern cosmetic surgery has even exited. Such people make cheap easy click generating headlines nowadays. "Oh look at this person, she has breasts bigger than her head!" (applies to more than just the woman in this article) "Look at this guy who is making himself look like a reptile, including forked tongue and f***ed up eyes!" "Look at this lady, she's turning herself into a literal Barbie doll!"

Whether such extreme body modification can be inappropriate for a teacher, especially if it can be viewed as sexual, and where the line on what is or isn't appropriate should be drawn, is something local schools will have to (very rarely, but sometimes) answer, and isn't something deserving of national news or some media frenzy.

But that's not even what Tucker's stuff is about. It's not "when does body modification go too far for the classroom?" it's "transgender people are disgusting freaks!" That's what he's peddling. That's all he's peddling.

Regardless of whether you do or don't think this is a case that's too much for a teacher/classroom setting, you do not, under any circumstances, got to hand it to Tucker Carlson.

To do what Tucker is doing: equate all trans people as sexual predators, of course!

That post is gone and let this be a warning to everyone thinking of posting in this thread: if you feel like engaging in gross smears against an entire minority by equating them with predators/deviants/freaks/whatever your posts will vanish and you will lose your posting privileges.

As if I didn't need reinforcement of Carlson's massive mommy issues

Funny how film producer William Fox, the Fox News namesake, had a bad relationship with his dad.

I’d make a crack about a slow news day, but by their own admission in court, Tucker Carlson is not news.

The general vibe I get from this thread is that since it was Tucker Carlson who reported on this some people feel the kneejerk reaction to be contrarian for the sake of disliking him. But you really don't have to bend over backwards to defend this just because someone you don't like is the one pointing it out. The absurdly giant breasts and outfits that do not do a good job covering them are certainly not appropriate for a teacher. We've seen teachers get in trouble for far less.


Carlson gets the ire of a lot of people because his whole programming is designed to other certain groups, many of which people on ANN or their families and friends are a part of. In my response, I separated my defense of the woman and my problem with Tucker specifically to point out that Tucker's coverage is doing just that with this story. The whole "exploding milk porn" comment should make that clear. It's just bullying.

That said, someone pointed out that the woman is working around certain dangerous power tools and, looking up the photo, it does seem like her prosthetics could be a big hazard. If I had any say at that school, I might approach her about that.

I'm also nipple-friendly. Everyone has them. We had a teacher that breastfed during class, and that was late 2000's. What's the big deal?


Where did you go to school because that sounds crazy to think a high-school teacher would do that here. I think the irony is if a teacher is allowed to go around like that but girls will get dress coded for showing bare shoulders or something. Surely the dress code applies to teachers as well. Cause as far as "distractions in school" go... that's got to take the cake from the picture I Googled.


I went to school in New York state for a while and that's where the teacher was. Probably not a huge surprise here. There were kids that initially snickered about it, but she did it casually and often enough (and was pretty non-chalant and discreet) that kids stopped caring. It's not like she was walking around with her boob out. She would go to her desk with the cradle and do it while we were working. On that note, yeah... Even at our school, girls would get in trouble if their shorts were too short or they were wearing visible spaghetti straps. Double standard definitely applied.

I'm not a transhope but seriously just google the picture. Those prosthetic breasts are highly inappropriate.

I don't see anything wrong with them aside from not having anything to obfuscate the nipples. That said, WTF why would she want boobs THAT big?

There's nothing wrong with it if you dress up like that at home. However, I do see a problem with it being shown to minors in school. This person is pushing the limits a little too far. I can absolutely see why this would irk someone. But yeah, I agree why boobs that big? Many biological women who have breasts that are naturally that big, normally get breast reductions because it can strain your back with all that weight. In fact, my cousin is getting a breast reduction. She has naturally large breasts that are maybe half that person's size. Why anyone would want breasts that big is beyond me.

There is a silent Fox movie called "A Fool There Was". Sheesh, that describes Tucker here!

Some of the stuff that came to my mind when I saw the pictures were Eiken and Hentai Mangas that have Ladies with Huge Breasts. Laughing I think this Teacher is acting out some kind of fetish. If anything that's a total safety hazard. Those Things are just asking to be chopped off.

Im losing my mind. This would be hilarious if it wasnt for the trans teacher AND the unrelated teacher being put in the transphobic spotlight like this because god forbid people exist outside of what fox news considers appropriate.

Adding to this: Would this even be an issue if they were natural boobs?
I'm not against people having giant breast expansions, but it's not the same as having naturally large breasts.

Regardless of whether or not they're an issue, it's not something that requires a national news story, and it's clear why Carlson is bringing it up when he pivots directly from it to talking about how trans people are perverts.

I know it’s kinda irrelevant, but I’m just wondering where they got the art from for the story. The character on the thumbnail is SeeU, a Korean vocaloid (making her North American debut in the worst possible way). I tried to see if it would be a result on a basic google search but it didn’t, not even close. So either they knew where to look, already had it on hand or someone on staff made it. You decide which is the funnier option.
