Female Volleyball Player Testifies to Physical, Mental Trauma since Injury by Trans Athlete
MSN ^ | 4-20-23 | Caroline Downey

A female high school volleyball player who was injured while competing against a male player last year testified Tuesday to the mental and physical trauma she’s dealt with since the incident.

Speaking during a committee hearing of the North Carolina legislature, Payton McNabb, a senior at Hiwassee Dam High School in the state, recounted the lingering injuries she’s suffered from since she was struck in the face by a ball that was spiked by a male competitor in a match last September.

“I suffered a concussion and neck injury that to this day I’m still recovering from,” she said. Other injuries she’s still living with include impaired vision and partial paralysis on the right side of her body, she said. McNabb has also experienced anxiety and depression.

On Wednesday, North Carolina lawmakers passed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, which would prohibit male athletes from competing in the female division of school sports. Transgender students can still participate in co-ed sports or those that match the sex they were assigned at birth.

“I was unable to play the rest of my last volleyball season, and although I am currently playing softball, I was not able to perform as well as I have in the past because of the injury,” McNabb said.

She spoke alongside former University of Kentucky star swimmer Riley Gaines, who faced and tied with Lia Thomas — a biological male — at the NCAA championship women’s race.

Do my eyes deceive me? Did I actually read that Downey honestly called the pretend woman a MALE?

That's a small sign of progress.

It’s almost like males tend to be bigger and stronger than females or something. I wonder if that sort of thing would be an advantage in sports. The Science should look into these matters.

Now, all of that is sarcasm, but huge numbers of young women will disagree with the statement “men tend to be stronger than women.” You see, they FEEEEEEEEL like if there is a single woman anywhere who is stronger than a single male anywhere, then the statement is “wrong.” We have an uphill battle.

They can’t compete with men so they dress like women

On Thursday, the House of Representatives advanced a bill that would federally ban male athletes from competing in girl’s sports. The measure would amend federal law so that “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”

The bill passed due to Republican support, as not a single Democratic member of the chamber voted for it.

The Democrat Party is pushing women out of sports, and endangering their lives.

If she joins the military then supposedly she is made the equal of males in 8 or 10 weeks of basic training and is ready to face the enemy in mortal combat to decide who America belongs to.

The TERFS (trans exclusionary radical feminists) are HATED by the trannies. Odd times make for strange alliances.

NOW and the rest of the usual feminist lefty groups are staying silent. There are a lot of wealthy people in the LGBT community who give heavily to the Democrats. That’s why they’re keeping their pieholes shut on all of this.

Payton should play on the Male volleyball team. If they don’t have a male volleyball team at his high school, he should play at the yMca...🤓

Payton is the girl who was hit by the ball.

But, I’m sure you meant the guy should play for the boy’s team.

I know lifelong Dems who turned to Republican because of this craziness.
