The two protesters came but left before brandishing their placards.

Wrong day.

Tuesday wasn’t the first day of classes at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton. That honor would last until Wednesday.

Still, a quartet of photographers showed up to capture Woman of the Year, Kayla Lemieux. They came from the Daily Mail, the New York Post and the Toronto Sun.

Of course, Lemieux, 40, is the shop teacher who famously sports ZZZ breasts and a blonde wig and has been a flashpoint in the culture wars that have rocked schools across North America.

“Where is the Hamilton Spectator,” one would-be protester asked, before telling reporters: “Thank God you good men do what you do.”

But lately, Lemieux has been seen dressed as a man. Last week the Daily Mail filmed her walking to school in shorts, a golf shirt and running shoes. There was also a hint of a beard.

On Tuesday, her arrival at school for a PA day was delayed. She drove around the parking lot of a shopping center on Rymal Road. on the outskirts of Hamilton.

Additionally, Lemieux made a pit stop at the Hamilton Police Station on Rymal. She stayed there for about 30 minutes before making her way to the school at the end of a remote road.

Three security guards roamed the school grounds, scaring away anyone who looked like they had media credentials, but especially anyone carrying a camera.

And when she finally arrived, Lemieux was dressed as a man. Her signature busty look gave way to a more understated ensemble.

There was something else: the world’s most famous woodworking teacher had a police escort from Halton Police, discreetly, in plain clothes and behind the wheel of a ghost car.

Lemieux – laden with materials for workshop classes – was escorted into the parking lot and around the back of the school to unload her goods.

Lately, she has been wearing men’s clothing more often, representing herself as a man.

In her last post about Trafalgar High School in Oakville, the story got so much hype that there were bomb threats and some staff even went on stress leave.

For some reason, Lemieux claimed that her huge nipples were actually real. She told my friend and colleague Joe Warmington that the stretching was real because she was “hormone sensitive to estrogen,” which caused excessive growth.

And no, she told Warmington, she is not transgender, but rather intersex with male and female sexual organs.

“I don’t think women generally have a formal diagnosis of their breast size. Personally, I also think breast size is irrelevant… I decided to break my silence and put my name next to my statements and now I’m being asked for evidence. I really don’t know how to help you with this,” Lemieux told the Sun.

The British call it “Taking the Piss.” Essentially trolling someone with half-truths and outright lies.

Or is it as the great writer Tom Wolfe described it at the end of his self-serious novel: “Making the Weenies Scream”?

Certainly a painfully politically correct school system would fully support Lemieux under any circumstances. This also includes the most absurd things.

These days, Lemieux himself doesn’t seem to be clear about the future. Only she knows that for sure.

But from here it looks a lot like a cocktail made up of two parts that take the piss and one part that makes the little ones scream.

With a pinch of salt shaker.
