The Canadian high school teacher who goes to work wearing size Z prosthetic breasts incredibly claimed they’re not fake — and denied being the person photographed leaving home without them — but acknowledged she can’t prove it.
“I’m not wearing prosthetic breasts. These are real,” Kayla Lemieux told The Post during an exclusive interview Saturday.
Lemieux — who wore women’s clothing, with a blond wig, makeup and her enormous breasts — said she’s “not a transgendered person” but was born “intersex.”
“My condition is classified as gigantomastia, which can also be referred to as macromastia or breast hypertrophy,” Lemieux said during a sit-down at a cafe in Burlington, near Toronto.
“It’s rare, there’s no doubt about it. It affects women on a very rare basis, but in my case, I believe — and my doctor thinks — because I have XX chromosomes as well, that has something to do with it, and hormone sensitivity to estrogen has caused it.”
When pressed for proof, Lemieux — who spoke in a soft, high-pitched voice with a pronounced Canadian accent — said she’d never received a formal diagnosis.
Lemieux also denied being the person who was photographed by The Post last week driving out of her apartment building and walking on a sidewalk a short time later.
That person — who was dressed in men’s clothing and did not have breasts — bore a striking resemblance to the teacher and was identified by a neighbor as Lemieux.
“I can’t tell you who that is because I don’t want to bring anyone else into this. I don’t want that person being thrown all over the media, but it wasn’t me,” Lemieux said.
“This is who I am. This is how I look. You’ve been talking to people in my building but what they’re telling you is harsh and untrue. I am always going out looking the way I am.”
Asked if her appearance ever differed from the way she looked at the time, Lemieux said, “I guess if I took my wig off or took my makeup off.”
“But I would still have breasts. You can’t hide them. People online making comments are basically body-shaming,” Lemieux added.
Lemieux has sparked worldwide controversy since photos and videos of her went viral last year, shortly after she began working as a shop teacher at Ontario’s Oakville Trafalgar High School in September.
The school has also been subjected to repeated bomb and gun threats, with targeted threats made against Lemieux and school officials.
