The parents of a volleyball player who was left with serious brain damage after she was knocked to the ground by a transgender opponent have broken their silence and have urged families to 'pull your kid' from sports games.

Payton McNabb was 17 when a ball spiked by a trans opponent with force struck her in the face, threw her to the ground and left her unconscious while she played a volleyball match in September 2022.

Payton was left with brain damage and paralysis on her right side, which ended her dreams of getting a volleyball college scholarship and has made it difficult to walk without falling.

Now, in the hopes of raising awareness about the competitive advantage from biologically male transgender athletes can have, Payton and her parents are sharing their story in the new documentary 'Kill Shot: How Payton McNabb Turned Tragedy Into Triumph'.

In a preview of the film, Payton's parents Pamela and Daniel McNabb speak for the first time of the guilt and frustration they felt as a result of their daughter's life-altering incident.

Detailing the moment she received a call informing her of her daughter's injuries, Pamela said: 'My first thought was, is she going to be ok? And then honestly my second- I was mad. I was furious, because we all knew this was going to happen. Did I think it would happen to my child? No. But we all knew. Everybody talked about it. Everybody knew something was going to happen.'

'I would never, ever let her play today if I knew what I know now,' Pamela also said in the documentary.

'Pull your kid. Don't play. It is not worth what has happened to her to happen to anybody else's child.'

What is wrong with so many American women? The mothers all knew “it would happen”...so I guess as long as it’s someone else they won’t say anything...where are the brave, muscular, fighters who right all the universes wrongs in those fairy tale movies?

The only way to stop it is for the girls to refuse to play with the boys (fake girls).“

Clearly it is the only way now and for many it means giving up scholarships, which is a huge sacrifice.

If these mentally ill trans
people insist on playing,
they should form their own
leagues and teams.
There might be mass confusion
after their games, though.
Trying to decide which
locker rooms and showers to
use.

She played volleyball while unconscious? Apparently, editors are among the stupidest people in journalism.
