Young athlete injured by trans opponent blasts Karine Jean-Pierre

DANA. >> Dana: EDWARD LAWRENCE ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN WASHINGTON. >> Bill: A STORY GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION. TAR HEEL STATE NORTH CAROLINA SENATE COMMITTEE PASSING A BILL THAT BANS MALES FROM FEMALE SPORTS. OUR NEXT GUEST HAS QUITE A STORY. A HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS VOLLEYBALL PLAYER AFTER SUFFERING A CON SUGGESTION AND NECK INJURY IN SEPTEMBER FROM A TRANSGENDER PLAYER SPIKING THE BALL DURING A VOLLEYBALL GAME. >> I COULD GO ON AND ON HOW THE INCIDENT AFFECTED MY LIFE. I'M NOT HERE FOR THAT. I'M NOT HERE FOR ME. ALLOWING BIOLOGICAL MALES TO COMPETE AGAINST BIOLOGICAL FEMALES IS DANGEROUS. >> Bill: WANT TO BRING IN PEYTON IN PERSON. WELCOME TO NEW YORK. FIRST TIME ON AN AIRPLANE. FIRST TIME TO NEW YORK CITY. YOU ARE LIVING LIFE. BACK ON THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER -- I HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO. YOU TOOK A SHOT. >> Dana: IT IS HARD FOR ME TO WATCH. >> Bill: WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER FROM THAT? >> I JUST REMEMBER THE VERY, VERY SILENT AND SHOCKED GYM AND THE FEAR FROM MY TEAMMATES KNOWING THEY HAD TO CONTINUE PLAYING THE GAME AND EVERYONE NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO AND IT WAS VERY TRAUMATIZING. >> Dana: WHAT WAS YOUR RECOVERY LIKE. >> IT WAS HARD. VERY SLOW. IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT, YOU KNOW, NOT BEING ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THINGS AS I HAVE IN THE PAST. IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT BUT I'VE BEEN IMPROVING. >> Dana: DID YOU KNOW YOU WERE PLAYING AGAINST A TRANSGENDER. >> YES. >> Dana: HAD YOU BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF THIS INDIVIDUAL BEFORE THE GAME? >> YES. VERY MUCH SO. BUT WE COULDN'T REFUSE THE GAME SINCE IT WAS A CONFERENCE GAME SO WE HAD TO CONTINUE TO PLAY THEM EVEN THOUGH NONE OF US WANTED TO. SO IT WAS DEFINITELY -- >> Bill: DURING WARM-UPS YOU ARE CHECKING OUT THE OTHER TEAM. WHAT DID YOU SEE AND WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT PLAYER'S PERFORMANCE? >> IT WAS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER YEARS I'VE BEEN PLAYING. I WAS USED TO IT, THOUGH, AT THAT POINT BECAUSE HE IS THE SAME AGE AS ME SO WE PLAYED THE OTHER ALL FOUR YEARS AGAINST HIM. BUT I REMEMBER SEEING HOW THE FEAR AND ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNGER PLAYERS ON THE TEAM WHO NEVER PLAYED AGAINST HIM BEFORE SO JUST SEEING HOW SCARED THEY WERE WAS HEARTBREAKING. >> Dana: DID YOU HEAR FROM THE INDIVIDUAL AFTERWARDS? >> NOT AT ALL UNTIL A WEEK AFTER I SPOKE OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY SENT ME A MESSAGE ON INSTAGRAM AND IT WAS VERY HATEFUL. THERE IS NO REMORSE AT ALL. >> Dana: ANGRY TOWARDS YOU FOR SAYING SOMETHING THAT BIOLOGICAL MALES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY IN FEMALE SPORTS? >> YES. >> Bill: THE STATE HOUSE HAS TAKEN ACTION AND NOW THE SENATE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL AS WELL. YOU HAVE A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR IN ROY COOPER. DO YOU THINK HE WOULD AGREE WITH THE LAWMAKERS IN THE STATE HOUSE TO BAN? >> NO, DEFINITELY NOT. HE DEFINITELY WILL NOT AGREE WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION. EVERYONE IS ALREADY EXPECTING THAT. >> Bill: YOU KNOW IT'S THE TOPIC OF NATIONAL CONVERSATION AND CAME UP AT THE WHITE HOUSE THE OTHER DAY. HERE WAS THE QUESTION AND ANSWER FROM THERE. >> WHAT DOES THE PRESIDENT SAY TO PARENTS OUT THERE WHO HAVE DAUGHTERS WHO ARE WORRIED THEIR DAUGHTER MAY HAVE TO COMPETE AGAINST A MALE AND WHAT ABOUT THEIR DAUGHTER'S SAFETY. >> THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING TO SAY. TRANSGENDER KIDS ARE DANGEROUS. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT A COMMENT LIKE THAT? >> I THINK IT IS VERY HYPOCRITICAL. SHE IS TAKING WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID HOW IT IS DANGEROUS FOR US AND SWITCHED IT AROUND AND PLAYED THE VICTIM FROM THE SITUATION, WHICH I EXPECT NOTHING LESS FROM THAT WHOLE ADMINISTRATION. SO -- >> Dana: I WANT TO END WITH THIS QUESTION. YOU SAID YOU ARE NOT HERE IN NEW YORK FOR YOURSELF. AND YOU DIDN'T SPEAK OUT FOR YOURSELF. TELL US WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS. WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO YOU? >> I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE TO EVER GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH. EVEN THE THOUGHT OF IT HAPPENING TO MY YOUNGER SISTER WHO IS GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOL OR, YOU KNOW, MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND TEAMMATES. IF IT HAPPENED TO ANY OF THEM IT WOULD INFURIATE ME. THE THOUGHT OF THAT. I DON'T THINK IT IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD EVEN HAVE TO BE TALKING ABOUT. >> Bill: IT IS NOT RESOLVED YET AND IT MAY NOT BE. >> Dana: YOU ARE A PART OF AN ATTEMPT AT A SOLUTION AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOUR DAD FOR BEING HERE, TOO. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU,
