Trans Comedian Mocks Brain-Damaged Teen — Victim Fires Back: “This Is Cruelty”

She was paralyzed on a high school volleyball court.

Now she’s being mocked in a comedy club — by a grown man in a dress.

Payton McNabb, the North Carolina teen who suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2022 after a transgender athlete spiked a volleyball into her face, is fighting back after being turned into a punchline by trans comedian Stacy Cay.

“A grown man mocking a teenage girl’s brain injury isn’t comedy — it’s cruelty,” McNabb told Fox News.

Cay’s now-viral stand-up routine included the line:

“She gets hit right in the head and falls over like a toddler… she should’ve been wearing a helmet.”

And the kicker?

“She shouldn’t have been out there with the normal people.”

The audience laughed. But millions of Americans weren’t laughing.

McNabb was left with seizures, partial paralysis, vision loss, and lifelong trauma. She hasn’t played a sport since. She’s now a leading voice in the movement to ban biological males from girls’ sports.

Cay, rather than apologize, mocked the backlash.

“Looks like the woke left is trying to cancel another comedian,” Cay tweeted.

But the outrage isn’t coming from the left. It’s coming from parents, athletes, and women who know this has gone too far.

Riley Gaines, former NCAA swimmer and outspoken advocate for fairness in women’s sports, slammed Cay:

“He’s talking about a teenage girl who was partially paralyzed — and they’re the ‘kind’ ones?”

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump recognized McNabb at his 2025 State of the Union.

“We will protect our daughters,” Trump said. “This won’t happen again.”

McNabb is now helping push legislation across red states to restore biological boundaries in sports.

But this isn’t just about policy — it’s about dignity.

“Your jokes won’t silence me,” McNabb said. “They only prove why this fight matters.”
