Andy Cohen, the animator of talk show above all known as the face of “Watch What What Live” by Bravo TV, has entered a debate on social networks on Trans inclusion in female sports with Meghan McCain and the former volleyball player Payton McNabb, who suffered brain injuries when she was injured by an opponent Transgender years ago.
Cohen started the debate when he responded to a McCain position. She congratulated the 19 -year -old McNabb as “incredibly intelligent, strong and courageous”, as Cohen suggested that the teenager was “bad” of transgender people.
“You have surprised that you buy in the dissemination of the Trans community given the real problems that occur in this country, your previous ally of the LGBTQ community and the fact that this non-professional affects approximately four people in this country,” Cohen wrote in an article.
McNabb then responded to Cohen’s attack on McCain, qualifying his comments “in fact”.

“Andy, calling for the protection of female sports A” non -problube “which affects” four people “is not only disdainful – this is actually false. Hundreds of female athletes have lost podium points, scholarships and opportunities. My own injury has changed life.
Cohen then responded to McNabb, admitting that his initial response was based on a single part of data provided by the president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker, in December.
“The president of the NCAA testified under the oath of more than 500,000 athlete students, he is aware of less than 10 trans members. This is where I obtained my information,” Cohen wrote, referring to the Baker statistics that were provided during a congress hearing on December 17.
Cohen did not take into account the athletes affected at the secondary level or at other levels of competition. Cohen has not responded since this last position at the time of publication.

His exchange with McCain and McNabb quickly became viral on Tuesday evening, because many aligned themselves to severely criticize Bravo’s personality for his criticism on a post intended to celebrate the 19 -year -old.
McCain answered, inviting Cohen to a more in -depth conversation on the issue while giving the host more clarity on the situation of McNabb.
“Surprised that you agree with violence against female athletes. Peyton has undergone serious brain damage – just a story. You have my cell, always happy to speak in private or publicly on one of our programs because these conversations are reductive to chop on social networks,” wrote McCain.

McNabb underwent long -term and long -term physical and mental injuries in 2022 when she was a peak opposite by a transgender athlete who was able to compete in a female team due to a policy implemented by the North Carolina’s High School Athletic Association.
McNabb was unable to participate in his last volleyball season and said his performance in softball was considerably hampered by his injuries.
McNabb will attend President Donald Trump’s joint address on Tuesday evening, only one day after the Democrats in the Senate blocked a bill that would have prohibited Trans athletes from participating in female and girls sports on a national level.
