A MALE primary school teacher stunned parents today after revealing he would return to classes after the Christmas holidays as a woman.
Transsexual Nathan Upton, 32, will become Miss Lucy Meadows in the New Year following his sex change.
Pupils at St Mary Magdalen's Church of England school – motto: Reaching our potential together in Christ – have been informed about the schoolmaster's "transition".
Parents said Nathan told children he had been "born with a girl's brain in a boy's body".
The teacher has started wearing women's clothes before undergoing hormone therapy and a full operation in the new year, it is understood.

It was not your average Christmas newsletter for a Church of England primary school.
[...]
But the sixth paragraph came as a bit of a shock.
'Mr Upton has recently made a significant change in his life and will be transitioning to live as a woman,' it read.
'After the Christmas break, she will return to work as Miss Meadows.'
It then said the school was 'proud of our commitment to equality and diversity among our staff and children'.

This is incredibly sad. I can't imagine what she went through after all the negative press and unreconstructed Neanderthal parents doing their utmost to get rid of her. The headline itself is offensive.

These newspapers (I wouldn't let the cat piss on them) have Lucy's blood on their hands as do the thick pig ignorant inbred parents. RIP Lucy my condolences to your friends and family
Language, please - though I completely agree

Oh no, God forbid the children have to open up their minds and accept a teacher changing their sex. That's too much for them! But of course their teacher committing suicide, they can handle that just fine, right? ::)

"Hindsight is always 20-20."
We lose too many young people like this. And furthermore, Lucy's legacy will be a cautionary tale for those who looked up to her as their teacher.
In retrospect, it seems to me, that it would have been better to make the transition when school was out of session during the summer (if that is what this school does). I suspect there would have been less stress on Lucy, and much less adverse, sensationalistic publicity.
It is clear from the article that Lucy, recently separated from her spouse and child, was under a great deal of pressure.
"Send not to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee."
