advanced a women’s sports bill after a teen volleyball player disclosed the extensive injuries she suffered from being hit in the face with a ball spiked by a male-born competitor who identifies as female.

Video of the teen being hit in the face with the spiked ball and falling unconscious went viral last year, fueling calls for rule changes and legislation to stop an influx of male-born athletes from competing in female sports based on gender identity.
