Schneider’s “Jeopardy!” achievements have made her both an inspiration and a target for transphobic insults online — which she batted away with the same aplomb she displays on TV. Her deftness earned attention last week from Harvey Fierstein.Fun fact: Schneider is proud of a podcast she did on “Downton Abbey” and invites those who are interested to listen to “hundreds of hours of content” about the PBS series.
AP: You’ve mentioned actor Laverne Cox and comedian Natasha Muse as trans women you find inspiring. Have you heard from viewers who see you as a role model?SCHNEIDER: I have definitely heard from other trans people who have been sort of thrilled to see me out there. But one of the things that I’ve enjoyed the most is hearing from parents, and sometimes grandparents, of trans people, an older generation.
SCHNEIDER: I’ve done open mics around town, just for fun and not seriously pursued it, but I’ve been a performer my whole life. As I was struggling with the necessity of coming out, definitely one of the fears was, ‘Will I still be comfortable in public and will I still be able to perform after I transitioned?’ And seeing them definitely helped with that.SCHNEIDER: I’m dreaming of it.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Good for her. Also pre-congrats to the Cali government taking half of her winnings. They worked real hard for that money.
It has a Penis! Disgusting
Why is every fart on this game show a headline now?
Much like men 'switch' genders to win gold medals in female sporting events, Ann's name change means she can be labled as 'her' on what is typically a male dominated game/memory contest (Jeopardy).
At least the article didn't promote the 'Top female' player
A man is really smart even with a mental disorder.
Fixed. Trans. They want him to win to make a story out of it.
It is only one of four.
Seems to be a very smart Trans Person.
My wife & I are still trying to figure this out. We watched her lose just before Thanksgiving, with a week of lackluster players before the the “Professors” tourney, then Boom! She’s back, like nothing happened. WTF ?!?
God this comment section is about to be unbearable
She is amazing!
This seems a bit too convenient
Good job dude! TrustTheScience
Congrats, Jeopardamy! 👏 Jeopardy
She isn’t a she and never will be because science matters.
I hear that Jennings guy is feeling kind of girly and likely to take Arnie's records away.
She is fantastic! She is so much more than just trans, but bravo for that too. Keep winning girl!!
What a smart fella.
He’s pretty smart
Ok so what your saying is a male is dominating it. Gotcha 🤷♂️
