Flap ensues as trans ‘Jeopardy!’ champ Amy Schneider hailed as ‘top female earner’
The Washington Times ^ | 12-30-21 | Valerie Richardson

“Jeopardy!” contestant Amy Schneider was born a man, but she’s being toasted as the highest-earning woman in the show’s history, much to the chagrin of those decrying the accolade as an example of stolen female glory.

The transgender trivia whiz hit $706,800 in total earnings with her Friday win, prompting NBC News and NBC OUT to declare her the show’s “top female earner,” surpassing Larissa Kelly, who won $655,930 during her run in 2008-09.

“Schneider buzzed her way to victory, becoming the highest-earning woman contestant,” said Entertainment Weekly.

From People magazine: “Jeopardy! contestant Amy Schneider just became the show’s highest-earning woman, beating Larissa Kelly’s previous record.”

Among those who had a problem with the “top female” designation were Rachel Bovard, senior policy director of the Conservative Partnership Institute.

“Peak feminism now means handing over all the ‘first woman’ titles to men posing as women,” Ms. Bovard tweeted. “From the athletics to the nerdy game shows, to the miracle of giving birth. Women, as a separate and amazing biological category, are meaningless. Great job everyone.”

If a man transitions into a “woman” between the ages of 18-26 he/she still MUST register for the draft. True.

If a woman transitions into a “man” between the ages of 18-26 she/he does NOT have to register for the draft. True.

Get rid of Title IX in collegiate sports. There is no such thing as women’s sports.

Trannie womyn can play football or wrestle if they want.

‘No, dear, good conservative women did not vote for this.’

your argument fails on a numerical challenge; the national voting history of females over the past several election cycles skews heavily left, and there is no good reason to not think that pattern will continue...

the two top female sports, basketball and soccer, are both rife with lesbianism and other trendy social nonsense, which create favorable backdrops for illusory gender bending...that a minority of socially centered women do not go for it deflects the delusions not one iota...

What difference does it make? The brain knows no gender. What did you expect - that the game show producer is going to take a stand and call him out?

In democrat world, it’s The War on Women but women keep voting them into office so . . . .

Men just make better women than women do. There’s not a single thing a woman can do that man can’t do far, far better.

Gender is irrelevant when it comes to answering trivia questions?

One would think.
Crotch status should not matter.

People have a sex, not a gender.

The male IQ curve is flatter than the one for females, ie, there are more male geniuses but more male idiots.

‘Crotch status should not matter.’

don’t you remember the kefuffle that ensued a few years ago, when a bunch of harpies from academia bitched that the Jeopardy format favored males, who are more prone to guess than females, and thus quick to answer...?

Jeopardy’s producers, being of the cowardly variety, responded by putting two females on every show, and continue to do so to this day...hasn’t really mattered; men still win, even when they’re women...

‘People have a sex, not a gender.’

and you know perfectly well, that in common parlance, the two words are interchageble, with no loss in comprehension...but, be a pedant, if it makes you happy...

What difference does it make? The brain knows no gender.

Doesn't every cell in the body contain sex-linked chromosomes? More specifically, male and female brains are different in size, weight, and function. The differences show up most dramatically in the extremes of performance. For instance, the top math geeks in the world are all men, and always have been, as surely as the best weightlifters are all men. As are the fastest runners and swimmers. Notice that, unlike men, women do not try to sneak into the other sex's athletic competitions to win more prizes.

And I believe women's brains are better at detecting scents and colors. At the other extreme, color-blindness is exclusively a male trait.

The differences between the sexes are so many and so vast that "sexual equality" has always been, in real life, just a figure of speech.

You know that the picture on the right is a different person, don’t you? That’s the previous big winner on “Jeopardy.” I think his name is Matt Amadeo.

One of the first things a cult will do is change the language. Sex becomes “gender”.
A double mastectomy becomes “top surgery”.
Your birth name given to you by your mother and father becomes your “dead name”.

Should read “top female/male earner”.

I don’t care about this issue like I care about the NCAA swimmer. Women have the same capacity as men to remember stupid historical facts. There should be no women’s Jeopardy champ. Just like there should be no Black Jeopardy champ. If we are not going to out right say that men are smarter than women, then there should not be such thing as a women’s champ.

However we can all say that a man is faster and stronger than a women. Not every man is stronger than ever women. Not every man is faster than every women. But on average men are very definitely stronger and faster. We all agree. The facts of millions of races and strength events bare this out.

And its not whether a man feels pretty or wears a dress and calls himself Lorette that makes him equal to women. And even if he chops off his male parts and lowers his male hormones he is still not giving up his advantage. The reality is that he gets his advantage somewhere in his lower teens between 12 and 16. His muscles are bathed in hormones that cause them to change and grow. They become bigger, faster, stronger than a women’s muscle. And there is no way to compensate for this except to maim him. And that is why, people who wish to be considered women in every other way, cannot fairly be considered women in sports, even if they feel like a women. As an athlete they are still a man.
