Yes the mom didn't want her son harassed but the other parents had a right to know that their daughters were sharing a locker room with a bio male and faced an increased risk of injury

Mom at heart of Broward transgender athlete controversy: My daughter was wrongly outed
Brittany Wallman
Mon, December 4, 2023 at 1:52 PM EST·3 min read
One of five Monarch High School employees whose jobs are on the line for letting a transgender girl play on a female volleyball team criticized officials Monday for outing the student — who is also her daughter.
Jessica Norton, an information technology worker at the high school in Coconut Creek, issued a public statement Monday thanking the community for its support and identifying herself as the mother of the transgender athlete. In her statement, she said that “forced outing, particularly of a child, is a direct attempt to endanger the person.”
Though the athlete was not identified by name by state or local officials, her identity became clear at Monarch, her coach said Monday. Norton and four others, including the principal, were shifted to jobs off campus last week as the Broward County School District investigates the apparent breach of state law that says a person born biologically male may not play on a female sports team in secondary public school in Florida.
Norton’s daughter was born male but has identified as a girl since before elementary school. She took testosterone blockers at age 11, and is on estrogen now to experience puberty as a female, according to related court documents.
Norton is a volleyball coach at Monarch but did not coach her daughter this year.
“The outpouring of love and support from our community this past week has been inspiring, selfless and brave. Watching our community’s resistance and display of love has been so joyous for our family — the light leading us through this darkness. I want everyone to know that we see you, and we are so grateful for you,” Norton said in a statement released Monday by the national Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group.
“A lot of things were taken from my family this week — our privacy, sense of safety, and right to self-determination,” Norton’s statement says. “There is a long history in this country of outing people against their will — forced outing, particularly of a child, is a direct attempt to endanger the person being outed. We kindly ask everyone to respect our family’s privacy, and to give our family the space we need to speak to our experience on our own terms and timeline.”
Norton’s daughter, a sophomore at the school, played on the varsity volleyball team the past two years.
The Norton family sued the school district and state officials in 2021 in hopes the law would be found unconstitutional and she could play high school sports. The Human Rights Campaign provided legal representation. A judge ruled against the family in November, though allowing time for the lawsuit to be amended.

The Miami Herald is not identifying the student. But the Human Rights Campaign’s deputy director of communications, Aryn Fields, said the family consented to having Norton’s name and relationship to the athlete published because “they’ve already been outed to their community.”
The student’s varsity coach, Alex Burgess, said he was not aware she was transgender until the school district’s investigation.
Burgess, a 21-year-old former player at Monarch, was not a full-time staffer, but is among the five under investigation. He said he was told not to return to campus. The volleyball season is over.
“I had no clue,” he said Monday. “I guess there was some people who already knew, but I guess whoever came in to kind of investigate kind of pointed fingers at her.”
The school district’s handling of the case drew criticism from the organization Safe Schools South Florida. The district did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“The potential inadvertent outing of a minor, who may not have publicly disclosed their transgender status, is deeply troubling,” Scott Galvin, the organization’s executive director and a North Miami city councilman, said in a written statement last week. “Such actions can inflict irreversible psychological harm and betray the trust that every student should have in their educational institution.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the Fairness In Women’s Sports Act into law in 2021.

Elsie Carson-Holt at LGBTQ Nation:
Jessica Norton’s daughter was highly involved at Monarch High School in Florida. She organized and attended prom, spoke at graduation, and even led senior class traditions. However, due to a state ban that prohibits female transgender girls from playing on scholastic sports teams, that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed on the first day of Pride in 2021, the daughter has left school and her mom is now facing termination from her job. Norton’s daughter attended Monarch High School in Broward County Florida, and her mother works as an information specialist at Coconut Creek High School. Last December, Broward County School District began investigating the student allowed to play on Monarch High School’s volleyball team. As a result, several staff members, including the principal of the school, were reassigned to different positions due to “allegations of improper student participation in sports” according to a statement by school district spokesperson John Sullivan.
“I had to find out in a Sun-Sentinel news article that the Professional Standards Committee recommended that I be suspended for 10 days rather than terminated ��� but I have been in limbo for more than 200 with the hanging threat of termination,” Norton said during the meeting. “I found out, again in a Sun-Sentinel news article on Friday evening, that my termination had been removed from consideration at this Board meeting. The District has yet to notify me or my attorneys of that decision, why it was made, or what will happen next.”
Jessica Norton could be facing termination from her job at Monarch High School in Broward County for letting her trans daughter play girls volleyball despite the fact that SB1028 bars trans girls from girls' sports.

Okay so like
Yeah teenage Craig smoking is like the classic thing but honestly
Both Craig and Tweek would smoke for various rebellious edgy boi reasons. Craig might do it partially as a misguided image thing, but Tweek would rely on it a little too heavily to calm his nerves at first whilst it's new and then love how much his parents hate the tobacco smell hanging around their store when he's working. It would unfortunately make his anxiety worse to go a day without it.
Difference is; Craig would wake up one day, light up, feel so embarrassed about it out of nowhere and quit. Tweek just wouldn't be able to or want to - perhaps the withdrawal symptoms would be too much, or even just the routine being gone sucks. Eventually he might be convinced to switch to vaping nicotine, but only once his parents are out of his life and he's calming down from the aftermath of that upbringing. There is no way Craig is kissing him if he uses that gross coconut liquid again though.

• review: christmas in coconut creek •
If you’re looking for a holiday romance that is heavy on banter and spice, then look no further than Christmas in Coconut Creek.
The story follows Ophelia, who trades the snow for sand when she flies to Florida to spend Christmas with her best friend, and Frankie, the retired Delta Force pilot she swipes right on in the airport and ends up sitting next to.
This book is a ton of fun – I genuinely laughed out loud several times because of the quippy dialogue that flies back and forth between these characters – and the love story is both outrageously hot and very sweet. Frankie has A Mouth on him, so you’ll definitely be blushing, rolling your eyes, and swooning with this one – but honestly, would you want it any other way?
