Former High School Athlete And Anti-Trans Activist Invited To Trump’s Presidential Address

Payton McNabb, a young activist with a conservative women’s organization, is set to appear as a guest at Trump’s speech.
Payton McNabb, a former high school athlete and advocate against trans girls’ inclusion in women’s sports, is set to appear tonight as a guest during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.
McNabb made national headlines in October 2022 following a North Carolina high school volleyball match where a player on the opposing team spiked a ball that hit McNabb in the head. McNabb was injured with a concussion and traumatic brain injury, and said that her opponent was a transgender girl.
HuffPost could not independently verify the identity of the player.
McNabb’s story circulated from North Carolina school board meetings and parental rights organizations to the state legislature where she testified in support of state House Bill 574, which bars trans girls from playing on girls’ sports teams in 2023.
That year the state legislature overrode a veto by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper to pass the ban. Cooper urged lawmakers against making “uniformed decisions about an extremely small number of vulnerable children.”
