Verily, in article <10tkkke$2rfa8$1@dont-email.me>, did no_offline_contact@example.com deliver unto us this message:
Leo Kearse tells us about a chemistry lecturer at England's Oxford
University who has huge breasts and a long scraggly beard.

Leo ties this in to a notorious high school shop teacher at an Oakville
high school here in Ontario.
As he says so rightly, it used to be that weird kinks and fetishes were
practiced in private while people behaved normally in public; nowadays,
that seems to be getting inverted.
Not so long ago, this simply couldn't have happened. Even if an
institution hired such a person, that situation couldn't have stood.
People would have refused to attend the class and confronted the
responsible parties in the street, while actively shunning the perv. If nothing else worked, the perv would eventually have been paid a
nighttime visit by a group of irate fathers.
Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
Too many people have lost their minds?
I think it has to be something like that. While male teachers
identifying as women while sporting massive fake boobs are not routine
(yet), I've read that some cohorts of young girls are convinced they are actually boys in staggering numbers like 25% while genuine cases of
gender dysphoria are far fewer than 1%. There's a sort of hysteria,
possibly akin to the Dutch tulip craze of several centuries ago,
sweeping the West although it seems to be around "identity" rather than
tulips this time around.
I'm darned if I can figure out why this is happening or what might stop
it. If it's like the Dutch tulip craze, it will burn out on its own but
I'm not sure how much longer it might take. If it's NOT like the Dutch
tulip craze, it's anyone's guess how long it will take to get over this
and that is optimistically assuming people DO get over. I dread to think
that the whole species might be going irreversibly mad.
