High school volleyball player responds to Congresswoman’s statement on transgender individuals causing harm

Former High School Volleyball Player Speaks Out Against Harmful Impact of Trans-Identifying Players

High school athlete Payton McNabb, who suffered a serious injury when a trans-identifying volleyball player spiked a ball at her ⁤head, is challenging ⁤a congresswoman’s ‍assertion that trans individuals do not cause‌ harm. The incident, captured⁣ on video, left McNabb with a concussion and a neck‍ injury, forcing her to miss the rest of the season.

“My life is forever ‍changed because ⁢of an⁢ injury by a​ boy. So yeah… men have harmed women in our sports.”

Standing Against Harmful Denial

McNabb’s​ response comes in the wake ‌of Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s emotional defense of trans-identifying individuals, claiming they pose no⁣ harm. ⁣The clash occurred during a House Judiciary Committee hearing,​ where Jayapal​ insisted that identifying as trans does not equate to causing ⁤harm, despite real-life ​consequences like McNabb’s injury.

Former​ college athlete Riley Gaines, who⁤ faced a similar experience in swimming competition against a transgender athlete, echoes McNabb’s sentiments and denounces those who⁣ turn a blind eye to the negative impact on female athletes.

During the committee hearing, Rep. Harriet ⁤Hageman (R-WY) highlighted the need for legislation like​ the Protection of Women in Olympic and⁣ Amateur Sports Act, emphasizing the importance of preventing ⁣such injuries by ensuring fair competition and safety for female athletes.

This poignant exchange underscores the ongoing⁢ debate ​surrounding the inclusion of trans-identifying individuals ⁢in ⁢sports and⁣ the significant impact it has on the safety and⁣ well-being of female ‍athletes.
