Injured NC volleyball player urges transgender ban for female sports teams in schools
A North Carolina high school volleyball player has urged the state legislature to pass a bill banning transgender athletes born male from playing on female sports teams after she was seriously injured when a transgender girl spiked a ball at her.
McNabb claimed that she also has been forced to obtain accommodations at the school as a result of her “impaired” ability to understand and retain information.“I was unable to play the rest of my last volleyball season, and although I’m currently playing softball I’m not able to perform as well as I know I have in the past because of the injury,” she told the legislature.
“Then watch her testimony she gave today for the first time publicly. I was honored to stand alongside her in NC to continue the fight to protect women’s sports,” she added. The veto-proof vote was 73-39 — with three Democrats voting in favor — to separate sports by biological sex, based solely on students’ “reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
