McNabb: I'm just not the same kid
- During her final year at Hiwassee Dam High School, Payton McNabb, a North Carolina volleyball player, sustained an injury in a match against a boy from the opposing team on September 1, 2022.
- This injury occurred after a new North Carolina law removed case-by-case exception and required her to compete against a trans-identified male athlete, ending her prep sports career.
- McNabb, a three-sport athlete at Hiwassee Dam High now studying at Western Carolina University, suffered partial paralysis, cognitive issues, and ongoing symptoms from the traumatic brain injury.
- She will testify before the U.S. House Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, stating, "I want you all to know that this issue is very real," urging legislative protections for women's sports in 23 states.
- McNabb’s testimony and advocacy highlight the subcommittee’s focus on policies allowing men in women's sports and their conflicts with Title IX under Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
