(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump Tuesday night told the story of a North Carolina high school athlete who was severely injured by a transgender male athlete when he hit a volleyball into her face so hard it caused brain damage.

The young girl, Payton McNabb, was present as Trump’s guest at his address to a joint session of Congress.

“Payton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding,” Trump said, calling his policies a “common sense revolution.”
