Former Athlete Criticizes Lawmakers Over Trans Athletes in Women's Sports

Payton McNabb speaks out against the dismissal of safety concerns following her injury by a trans-identifying male athlete, amidst legislative debates.

Payton McNabb, a former North Carolina high school volleyball player, criticizes Democrat lawmakers for dismissing concerns over safety in women's sports following an injury caused by a trans-identifying male athlete.
McNabb suffers from long-term physical and mental injuries, including impaired vision, partial paralysis on her right side, constant headaches, as well as anxiety and depression.
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Rep. Jerry Nadler made remarks downplaying the impact of trans athletes in women's sports.
The Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act, which seeks to ban biological men from competing in women's sports teams, passed in the committee and is headed to the GOP-led House for a vote.
Former competitive swimmer Riley Gaines supports McNabb, calling Democrats who deny the impact of trans athletes in women's sports 'evil'.
