The underlying principle is the same as what you said in the horsefucking thread-- some people have an extremely high tolerance of the "ick factor."

I don't think its a high 'ick' factor, its just a different 'ick' factor. I'm sure the threesomes I've had in my life would trigger other peoples 'ick' factor. I recall joking with a friend of mine years ago about how it wouldn't bother me if my GF had a girlfriend as well, and he thought of it as the same as having another boyfriend. We all have different ick factors.
What I do find someone interesting is the hypocrisy involved. There is a smug 'get over it' attitude for those whos ick factor includes what many would consider self mutilation, yet themselves defend their own 'ick' factor.
If a teacher decided to look like this......
Would that be any different than a sex change in terms of classroom distruption? If this is all about who you feel you are and how you need to express that, I don't think a huge leap is needed.
The other issue is you can't pick your teachers in the government school system. Its not as if parents have a choice unless they can afford private schools, in which case they pay double in property taxes and then private school tuition.
Really though, despite all the fuss, I find this to be most likely the least pressing issue to be delt with in government schools these days.
