Andy Cohen and Meghan McCain Clash Over Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports

The public exchange follows McCain's support for an injured athlete and Cohen's critique of trans policy debates.

Andy Cohen criticized Meghan McCain's social media post supporting Payton McNabb, a volleyball player who suffered a brain injury during a match with a transgender athlete.
Cohen described the issue of transgender athletes in sports as a 'non-issue' affecting few people, citing NCAA data, which McCain and McNabb disputed as dismissive.
Payton McNabb responded to Cohen, arguing that the issue impacts fairness and safety in women's sports and has broader implications beyond individual cases.
The debate unfolded after Senate Democrats blocked a bill aimed at banning transgender athletes from competing in women's sports nationwide.
McNabb, who has been vocal about her injuries and their impact, is set to attend President Trump's Joint Address to Congress as a guest.
