Another female athlete has suffered injuries from having to compete with a biological male. This incident is the latest in a series of stories detailing how forcing girls to participate in sporting events with males as their opponents can be dangerous.
This instance involves a California father’s story about his daughter, who suffered a concussion and other injuries during a high school volleyball match against a transgender female.
In this story, one can see not only the danger facing female athletes but also the environment intended to keep dissenting voices silent about the matter.
A concerned father in California has come forward to reveal that his daughter sustained a traumatic concussion after playing high school volleyball against an opposing team with a trans-identified male student. Luis, whose name is being anonymized at his request due to fears about repercussions against his family, alleges his daughter had a ball spiked into her head so hard that she experienced blurry vision.
The incident occurred in October during a match at Half Moon Bay High School. Luis was in attendance to support his 17-year-old daughter, who was playing on behalf of a visiting high school Reduxx has chosen to withhold the name of in order to protect her identity. Luis explains that volleyball had been one of his daughter’s passions from an early age.
“My daughter has been involved in volleyball since she was in 4th grade,” he says. “She has always been a kid with her eye on the prize. When she first started asking about playing volleyball she began practicing in the backyard. For hours at a time, she’d hit the ball on the sloped roof. Eventually she was able to be a Team Captain at her school.”
When Luis learned that his daughter’s team was playing against a biological male, he became frustrated with the unfairness of the competition.
I told my wife that this was not fair. I felt frustrated that, in an indirect way, I was now supporting someone’s gender confusion. To boot, they were now playing against my daughter and her teammates. I had heard about transgender in sports issues, bathroom gender identification politics, and trans groups reading to kids at school. Now it was directly hitting home.
During the game, Luis noticed that the match had suddenly halted, and he turned to see his daughter being led out of the gym with an injury.
“[The other parent] turned to me and said, ‘Did you see that? She was hit by that boy?’ I had missed the actual hit, but felt the weight of everyone staring at me, including the opposing team,” Luis explains that he rushed to check on his daughter, terrified that she might be bleeding.
During a medical assessment by Half Moon Bay officials, Luis says his daughter reported blurry vision and head pain. Despite her injury, Luis’ daughter wanted to remain at the school to support her teammates, but sat out for the remainder of the match.
The father later took his daughter to the doctor, who confirmed she had suffered a concussion. She was unable to play for the rest of her senior year and felt “robbed,” according to Luis. School administrators told him that there was no way to prevent biological males from competing in girls’ sports, even with the risk of injury.
“If I say something out loud, will my kid be ostracized at school? If I don’t say anything, will I be silently accepting boys playing against girls at schools? Are there parents that would shame me and my family for saying anything? Don’t get me wrong, I have empathy for the boy. I don’t know what it feels like for someone to be born male and not identify with that. Life must be difficult,” Luis says.
“But at what point does someone’s gender dysphoria cross the empathy boundary? In my case when my daughter was injured.”
This is the latest in a long line of instances in which girls have been injured by biological males in sporting events over the past few years. In April this year, another female high school volleyball player was injured by a male player.
A female high school volleyball player who was injured by a crushing spike to the face from a transgender athlete in September 2022 is speaking out, describing the severe concussion she suffered and saying succinctly, “Allowing biological males to compete against biological females is dangerous.”
Payton McNabb, a senior at Hiwassee Dam High School in Murphy, N.C., detailed for the first time the effects of the injury at a press conference Wednesday:
On Sept. 1, 2022, I was severely injured in a high school volleyball game by a transgender athlete on the opposing team. I suffered from a concussion and a neck injury that to this day I am still recovering from. Other injuries I still suffer from today include impaired vision, partial paralysis on my right side, constant headaches, as well as anxiety and depression.
McNabb had her senior year of playing stolen from her:
McNabb said she was unable to play volleyball in her senior season. She is currently playing softball, but said she wasn’t able to “perform as well as I have in the past” due to her injuries. “My ability to learn, retain, [and] comprehend has also been impaired,” she said, “and I require accommodations at school for testing because of this.”
Last year, a biological male hockey player harmed a female athlete in New England.
The so-called “trans” tournament, featured a “Team Black” vs. “Team Pink” game that included the Boston-based “Team Trans” organization, which describes itself as “New England’s first LGBTQ+ hockey club.”
Sure enough, a video first posted by Quillette shows player #90 on Team Pink, described as a “bisexual trans woman” (man) shoving #91 on Team Black, described as a “female-to-male” (woman). The male athlete can be seen pushing the female athlete to the ice and then into the boards, resulting in a concussion. It reportedly took more than 17 minutes to get the female player stretchered and taken off the ice.
Many have protested against the continuing push to include biological males in women’s sports, and in some cases, there have been some victories. But this story shows that there is far more work to be done. The fact that this insidious trend is placing female athletes in danger is lost on those willing to sacrifice women for a warped sense of “inclusion.”
As more people wake up to what is happening in these sporting events, there will likely be more pushback. But until then, how many more females will have to suffer injuries to acquiesce to this ridiculous agenda?
