Finally they find their voice.
I hope others find their voices, before their own girls end up in comas or with permanent brain damage.
Or dead.
The parents of a volleyball player who was left with serious brain damage after she was knocked to the ground by a transgender opponent have broken their silence and have urged families to 'pull your kid' from sports games.
From all sports games, or the ones that allow boys to beat the shit out of girls?
Payton McNabb was 17 when a ball spiked by a trans opponent with force struck her in the face, threw her to the ground and left her unconscious while she played a volleyball match in September 2022.
Payton was left with brain damage and paralysis on her right side, which ended her dreams of getting a volleyball college scholarship and has made it difficult to walk without falling.
Now, in the hopes of raising awareness about the competitive advantage from biologically male transgender athletes can have, Payton and her parents are sharing their story in the new documentary 'Kill Shot: How Payton McNabb Turned Tragedy Into Triumph'.
In a preview of the film, Payton's parents Pamela and Daniel McNabb speak for the first time of the guilt and frustration they felt as a result of their daughter's life-altering incident.
Detailing the moment she received a call informing her of her daughter's injuries, Pamela said: 'My first thought was, is she going to be ok? And then honestly my second- I was mad. I was furious, because we all knew this was going to happen. Did I think it would happen to my child? No. But we all knew. Everybody talked about it. Everybody knew something was going to happen.'
'I would never, ever let her play today if I knew what I know now,' Pamela also said in the documentary.
'Pull your kid. Don't play. It is not worth what has happened to her to happen to anybody else's child.'
The film includes raw footage of the incident, as well as interviews with Payton, as well as her parents and sister, who have never spoken out before.
In April of 2023, Payton decided to testify at the North Carolina General Assembly in favor of the Fairness in Women's Sports Bill, sharing her story publicly for the first time.
'I may be the first to come before you with an injury, but if this doesn't pass, I won't be the last', she said at the time, calling for a bill preventing those born male from participating in female sporting contests.
...
Her mental acuity is also damaged, with Ms McNabb requiring hours of extra tutoring every month and extra time during tests because of the damage.
And she has struggled with much worse vision, anxiety and depression as she fights to recover from her injuries.
Well the important thing is that the mentally-ill boy "felt seen" when he maimed this girl for life.

Nationwide, 76% favor requiring transgender athletes to play on teams that match the sex they were assigned at birth. #mulawpoll
"Assigned at birth."
The Washington Post attempts to put some distance between itself and the hard left lunacies it's pushed for fifteen years, and now admits, there's no science supporting transitioning children.
Multiple European health authorities have reviewed the available evidence and concluded that it was "very low certainty," "lacking" and "limited by methodological weaknesses." Last week, Britain banned the use of puberty blockers indefinitely due to safety concerns.
"Children's healthcare must always be evidence-led," British Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said in a press release. "The independent expert Commission on Human Medicines found that the current prescribing and care pathway for gender dysphoria and incongruence presents an unacceptable safety risk for children and young people."
The uncertainty is the result of scientists' failure to study these treatments slowly and systematically as they developed them. Early studies from a Dutch clinic seemed to show promising results, but the research started with only 70 patients (dropping to 55 in a follow-up study) and no control group. Treatment results that look impressive in small groups often vanish when larger groups are studied. That's why the Food and Drug Administration generally requires large, randomized controlled trials of drugs: to ensure that encouraging initial results aren't mere statistical noise.
...
Yet as other doctors began copying the Dutch, clinical practice outraced the research, especially as treatment protocols rapidly evolved. A British study attempting to replicate the Dutch researchers' success with puberty blockers "identified no changes in psychological function" among those treated.
Some clinicians appear reluctant to publish findings that don't show strong benefits. The British lackluster results were published nine years after the study began, after Britain's High Court ruled that children younger than 16 were unlikely to be able to form informed consent to such treatments. Internal communications from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health suggest that the group tried to interfere with a review commissioned from a team of researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
Johanna Olson-Kennedy, medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, told the New York Times that a government-funded study of puberty blockers she helped conduct, which started in 2015, had not found mental health improvements, and those results hadn't been published because more time was needed to ensure the research wouldn't be "weaponized." Medical progress is impossible unless null or negative results are published as promptly as positive ones.
There's no scientific evidence supporting this, but the left went ahead anyway and championed the mutilation of children just to virtue signal on Twitter about what great "allies" they are and, of course, to Own the CHUDs.
