The female athletes Stephanie Turner and Payton McNabb testified to the members of the Congress during the “Constair Play: Humor Men of Women’s Sports” of the Sub-Committee of the Ministry of Effectiveness of the Government (DOGE).
At one point during the hearing, the two women were approached by representative Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas.
“” You are both very courageous. You are very courageous to be here, and I want to thank you for all of this, “Crockett told two women, Turner told PK Press Club Digital.
“And I said ‘Payton and I both took the time of our day to be there, and I find it very disrespectful that you co -opted this audience that talks about me and Payton and that you were talking about your own policy.'”

Crockett had just used its turn during the hearing to divert the conversation of the protection of female sports, the main objective of the hearing, to condemn President Donald Trump for other questions. Crockett had already tried to speak
Crockett even shed light on the question of the inclusion of trans athletes by transforming her monologue into a game she called “Trump or Trans”. The game presented Crockett asking another witness to blame Trump or trans people for a series of unleated problems that understood “increase the price of everything” and “ignore the constitution”. The witness replied “Trump” the 12 times.
Crockett opposed republican efforts to keep the trans athletes outside female and girls sports, even mocking Americans who claim to have been affected. However, she tried to be complementary with McNabb and Turner, according to them.
“I think she was lying,” McNabb told PK Press Club Digital. “I did not believe in a word she said, because literally theaters, and how she acted literally all the time and then try to come and be a nice girl for us. I do not know what happened, it was like a whole person than what we all saw 10 seconds before she arrives there.”
PK Press Club Digital contacted Crockett for additional comments.
Crockett buffoonery was one of the same incidents that highlighted a chaos hearing that involved multiple screaming matches between committee members and witnesses, as well as clearly questionable comments. Many of these comments have confused, frustrated and offended Turner and McNabb.
McNabb suffered permanent brain lesions in high school after being enriched at the head by a trans opponent in a volleyball match. She then had to look at the opposing witness Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, suggests that the way to prevent other women from dealing with similar injuries is to prevent doping in volleyball.
“I would say that the answer is to make sure that people cannot increase volleyball in the heads of others,” Goss Graves said during the audience when McNabb’s history response.

For McNabb, Goss Graves’s response was surprising.
“It was absolutely ridiculous,” said McNabb. “The fact is that that day and this injury did not look like anything else I have ever experienced, and it is because it was a man who struck me in the face, it’s really so simple.”
What was an even bigger shock for McNabb is when Goss Graves offered to work with the former volleyball player to help him recover from his brain damage during the hearing.
“This does not happen. This woman is obviously not healthy, and I do not know why she thinks that I would never want medical advice or general advice,” said McNabb.
Turner, who became viral in April for refusing to face a trans opponent in a fencing match and that he was punished by American fences, took the comments made by the lateefah representative Simon, D-Cal. At Simon’s turn, she suggested that the protection of female sports would lead to bringing racial segregation and that black women would be targeted disproportionately by the laws of restriction of trans athletes.
“I find that, as a black woman myself, be quite offensive,” said Turner.
“I find it offensive because they lead with this declaration” as a black woman, I am a black woman. “Well, I am a black woman, I was born in Washington DC, I grew up in one of the most blue parts of America in the county of Montgomery, Maryland, and no, I do not agree with you, it’s bad.”
On Wednesday also marked the first time that Turner came face to face with the president of American fencing Damien Lehfeldt, who was assigned to the audience, since his viral manifestation on his knees. Turner received a black card to refuse to face the trans opponent, disqualified and escorted outside the site, then gave probation at 12 months.
Lehfeldt was aggressively pressed by the members of the Republican Committee throughout the audience on pro-Trans policies and the punishment of its Turner organization.

At one point, representative Nancy Mace, RS.C., used her time to ask Lehfeldt to apologize to Turner. Lefheldt did not apologize to the request, and in response, Mace suggested that Lehfeldt was “not” a man.
“Real men protect women, you are not one,” said Mace.
Turner said she was not surprised by Lehfeldt’s refusal to apologize and would not have accepted it even if he did.
“Excuses are only empty words without actions,” said Turner.
Turner added that after Wednesday’s audience, she sees the next major objective in the movement to protect female sports is to push fencing to the United States to bring concrete changes to her sexual eligibility policy to protect women’s competitors.
The organization said that she was preparing to modify its current policies which allow biological men to compete with women and girls in case it is “forced” to change it.
The Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, had previously announced that the newly formed Title IX surveys The team will probe the incident involving Turner and the competitor Trans Redmond Sullivan.
