If this is all about being comfortable in your own skin and a good teacher then really no moral or psychological matters should come into play. I’m sure someday someone will isolate what makes someone transsexual. It will either genetic or developmental in nature, most likely both, but they will say here is the cause. But this same thing can be said for almost anything, even things like being violent will have definable genetic components.
So lets forget diaper man and it seems to be making people miss the point.
Lets take this one step back even, lets say the teacher was a cross dresser. So now instead of wanting to BE a woman, he just now wants to feel like one. I don’t understand cross dressing any more than I understand transsexuals, but obviously they feel a need to do it or they wouldn’t be doing it. Is this just a fetish to be dismissed out of hand, while wanting your penis ‘altered’ is something that we should just get over?
I ask again, where do YOU draw your line?

Excellent post Ustwo.
I will say this... most crossdressers are straight men who do it in their spare time (i.e. at home or the like). In my mind, it's a totally seperate issue. I would not welcome his crossdressing in class, I would also say that someone to coming to class in bondage gear is wrong for the same reason.
I liken transgendered individuals to homosexuals in that it is not a fashion choice (though some would like to depate this, let's not do it here for sake of the arguement). I would not expect a homosexual teacher to be overt in their sexuality anymore than a heterosexual one.
What I'm getting at is that the examples you draw have more to do with sexual proclivities. The issues of homosexuality and transgenderism need not.
