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.”

So, even the smartest woman was actually a man. This proves how meaningless feminism is.

Assuming Jeopardy isn’t rigged, what difference should the sex of a contestant make?

Unlike athletics, brainpower and memory is one arena where men and woman should be able to compete on an equal basis, in spite of what they might call themselves.

When this creature tops Ken Jennings $2.5 million record, then it would be a legitimate news item.

Of course, if “Amy” should self-identify as black, then everything changes.

I heard someone say that there were no female Jack the Rippers for the same reason there were no female Mozarts.

“Assuming Jeopardy isn’t rigged...”

I rarely watch Jeopardy any more and was unaware of any of this. I happened to tune in on a night that this circus was going on.

My first thought was “Wow!” One person was dominating the game. Then I got a close up...

My next thought was that I was witnessing a rigged game - all in the name of wokeness and equity of course.

Jeopardy is unimportant. It isn’t competitive athletics. If a chimpanzee won jeopardy, although amazing, it wouldn’t matter. If they let the chimp compete on the gymnastics high bar, then we’d have disadvantaged vs advantaged.

Sometimes the best woman for the job is a man.

I have been waiting years to say that, and now with the swimming and jeopardy results, it's time. What's next? Miss America or cooking shows?

PS - when this guy is the next contestant on "Bachelorette", then our society is close to bottom.

Begrudgingly watched Jeopardy with the wife (who enjoys it), but now I except the room while this crap is on. I return to the room when Wheel comes on.

Men are better than women at everything, including being a woman.

“He looks more like a dude in the “After” photo.”

Part of that is probably weight gain. Removal of the testicles inevitably leads to weight gain. Something these freakazoids never think about.

Why is there any gender category at all when gauging who is the top winner of a trivia contest? Gender is irrelevant when it comes to answering trivia questions?

I had the same thought but if you think about it, women spend far more time cooking and cleaning in the kitchen, going out shopping and tending to children than men do. So they typically don't have as much time to sit on the couch to watch TV or read books. Even just watching a ballgame on TV provides men with a lot of trivia as the broadcasters are filling the empty time with trivia about the town the game is being played in and whatnot.

Nope. All the facial points are different including the ears, nose, and teeth.

No, they are absolutely not interchangeable. It may offend Baptist sensibilities when they hear the word sex (believing it’s a dirty word) but it doesn’t change the facts

The Left has claimed the language and right wingers continue to let them.

“Gender” as applied to sex is an invention of a pedophile (John Money).

Things (nouns) have a gender - Masculine/Feminine. People have a sex - Male/Female. They are not synonymous.

Oops, you are correct, the male is former champ Matt Amodio. My bad.
