Trump to Spotlight Volleyball Player Injured by Transgender Opponent at Congress Address

Payton McNabb, who suffered severe injuries during a high school volleyball game, will attend as a guest as Trump highlights his executive order on women’s sports.

  • Payton McNabb, a former high school volleyball player, was severely injured in 2022 when a transgender opponent spiked a ball into her face during a match.
  • The incident left McNabb with a traumatic brain injury, partial paralysis, vision loss, and ongoing cognitive issues.
  • President Donald Trump invited McNabb to attend his joint address to Congress, where he is expected to highlight her story while discussing his executive order banning biological males from competing in women’s sports.
  • McNabb has been advocating for state-level legislation to make such bans permanent, working with the Independent Women’s Forum to support these efforts.
  • Trump’s executive order, issued early in his second term, also addresses international sports policies and aims to protect women’s sports on U.S. soil.
