A transgender substitute teacher in Maine has been fired after she was accused of sharing her TikTok handle in class and encouraging students to visit her page.
Lydia Lamere’s now-deleted posts included her discussing hormone replacement therapy and posing in the bathroom wearing only a towel, The Maine Wire reported.
Another site, Reduxx, said that Lamere, who was born male, also had discussions about BDSM on her site.
A student in Lamere’s class at King Middle School in Portland told her father, Mark Davey, that classmates at her school were discussing Lamere’s post.
“My daughter showed me group text messages where all the students were talking about it,” Davey said.
“Their gender or sexuality has nothing to do with why I get upset.
“The violation here is the sexualization of children.”

The next day, LeClair emailed parents to inform them that Lamere would no longer teach at the school
“On Thursday, I was made aware of concerns about students accessing videos on TikTok late on Wednesday,” LeClair wrote.
“Throughout the day, it became apparent that many students were talking about the TikTok account.
“As a result of our investigation, the employee will not be returning to King.
Tess Nacelewicz, communications coordinator for the Portland Schools, said the school has not contacted law enforcement regarding the Lamere investigation.
She said the school interviewed Lamere and conducted a criminal background check, but school officials had not checked the salacious social media accounts.
Lamere’s TikTok page now has just a handful of videos made since the riot.
Lamere said in a recent post that she had been dozed and had “the eye of Sauron” on her

Lamere can be seen in a Facebook post. She has since deleted many of her social media posts
The rest was done privately.
“Idk if you’ve ever had the Eye of Sauron on you, but it’s really very scary,” writes Lamere.
“I’m glad I’ve lived a good life without much to hide, but I don’t want the public to dissect every moment of my digital life over the last 4 years.
“For those who don’t know, I’ve been very drunk this week. Very tiring, any help would be appreciated.’
