Payton McCabe, a high school volleyball player , was struck in the face by a volleyball. That volleyball was spiked by a transgender player on the opposing team.
McNabb told lawmakers in a state hearing that she suffered both a concussion and a neck injury.
She said that "allowing biological males to compete against biological females is dangerous."
Several problems with this news quote, aside from the player's surname changing mid-story. Did anyone determine if there was an actual concussion? Was there medical evidence? legal action? a comparison of spiking velocities?Also begs the question, would a male player not also have received a concussion from a ball propelled with that much force? We have no way to rule out the possibility that anyone receiving a spiked ball in the head may get concussed and whiplashed. It's a freak occurence that really doesn't answer any questions about the tiny percent of trans players in women's sports.
ONCE AGAIN, WITH FEELING:
Anecdote is not evidence.
Besides all that, it simply is not fair.....not fair to be making biological females compete against biological males.
Then, in a video from a media interview/story, were shown early teen girls at one school having to have a biological male in their change rooms when they're in various stages of undress.
Also at the same or another school same age girls having to have a gay male student in their bathrooms.
Parents are outraged, as they should be. One mother said "we teach our girls to respect their bodies, they have the right to feel comfortable in the girls' change rooms."
The mom is 100% correct.
Interesting that the 20+ states that care enough about their daughters to have passed laws that only girls born girls can compete in girls' sports...shown in the video map are
not...WA, OR, NV, CA going down the west coast.....all the east coast states down to the top of the Carolinas NC and SC have enacted such laws...as has WV.
GA hasn't, most of the South has, and the ones thru the middle up to the Dakotas, WI etc.
Seems fathers in the traditionally "Red States", "flyover country" [some changed to Blue at the last election] are mostly the ones who care most about the "bodies and minds" welfare of their daughters.
