A bilogical female volleyball player claimed that she suffered a traumatic brain injury and lost her peripheral vision after being knocked unconscious by a transgender opponent.
Payton McNabb, now 19, was allegedly left with life-threatening injuries after a transgender player on the opposing team smashed a volleyball into her head, causing her to black out for 30 seconds.
The incident occurred in 2022 in a match for Hiwassee Dam High School in Murphy, North Carolina.
McNabb has now spoken out about the episode in a new documentary as she campaigns to prevent biological males from participating in women’s sports.
"If my story can, in any way help prevent this from happening to at least just one woman or girl, then it was all worth it," she told The New York Post.
After McNabb was struck on the forehead, she was rushed off the court with a concussion, neck injury and two black eyes while everyone else continued to finish the game, she said.
The teen said the full extent of her injuries only became clear weeks later, when she was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, a brain bleed, partial paralysis and loss of peripheral vision on her right side.
She also allegedly suffered ongoing memory loss, confusion and severe headaches.
McNabb said the incident was completely avoidable and claimed her teammates were aware of a transgender player on the opposing team before the game, but were afraid to raise their concerns.
"We never thought we would ever be put in this position to begin with," she told the NY Post, adding that her teammates didn’t know what to do.
