Donald Trump introduced Payton McNabb during his congress speech on Tuesday evening while promised to continue his crusade to have trans -athletes removed from women's sports.
After he told his audience that “America is back” and that “our country will no longer wake up,” Trump focused his attention on transatletes.

As a result, MCNABB says that she has sustained a concussion, brain damage, a neck injury and paralysis on one side of her face.
Since then, the resident of North Carolina has conducted campaign to prevent transations from competing against girls and women.
Trump said: 'I also signed an executive order to ban men in women's sports. Three years ago Payton McNabb was an All Star High School -Athlete, one of the best, preparing for a future in university sports.
'But when her girl's volleyball game was invaded by a man, he hit the ball so hard in Payton's face, which caused traumatic brain injury. Partially paralyze her right side and end her athletic career.

“It was a shot like she has never seen before, she has never seen anything like that. Payton is here tonight in the Gallery and Payton From now on, schools will kick men of the girls' team or they lose all federal financing. '
McNabb responded by allowing and cheering the words of Trump before he waved in his direction. She stood next to the Second Lady, Usha Vance.
Trump added: 'If you really want to see songs, take a look at what happened in boxing the ladies, weightlifting, lane and field, swimming or cycling, where a man recently completed a long-distance race for five hours and 14 minutes for a woman for a new record.
'The record broke with five hours. It is humiliating for women, it is very bad for our country and we will no longer tolerate it. '
It was not immediately clear to which race Trump referred, or if he was wrong when he said that a transatleet won a race for five hours.
But in 2023 Trans Cyclist Austin Killips won five minutes in North Carolina.
As for McNabb, she said before Trump's speech that she was humble to be invited to his speech.
“It's just such an incredible honor, and I am so grateful and I can't believe I am invited,” she told Fox News about the offer.

“I know that President Trump really supports what we are fighting for and for which I have been arguing for more than two years. And he is really big in the release of men of the sport of women and from their spaces.
“So I think this is just his way to let us know that he sees us and he is with us, and I am just so grateful for that.”
McNabb was a junior at the Hiwassee Dam High School in Murphy, North Carolina when she was hit by a ball that drove 70 km / h while she was in a competition.
The ball was struck by a transgender player in the other team and McNABB was beaten unconscious on the floor for 30 seconds with her arms upright in a 'screens' position.
Doctors diagnosed her with a traumatic brain injury, concussion, paralysis on her right side, whiplash and vision problems.
McNabb said she did not expect Trump to talk about her own specific experience during his address, but known that it would be 'insane' if he did.
“I know he tackles many important things,” she said. “So I'm not going to accept anything. But if he does that, then I become so grateful and just very, very happy. '
