“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.”

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...

Men are statistically more likely than women to drive under the influence and to cause an accident. Given their greater tendencies towards aggression and risk-taking, there is no good reason to think that pattern will not continue...

Perhaps we should revoke males' right to drive? Or perhaps we could start treating people as individuals and leave the divisive identity politics to the Left, where it belongs.

"women voted for this crap."
My mother graduated from high school several years before WWI. She was the daughter of an ardent feminist, and her high school yearbook (The Brecky) says she is going to devote her life to women suffrage. During the war she started her career as a Hearst reporter. A few years later, the 19th Amendment passed without her help. In her late eighties, she confided to me that she thought the 19th Amendment was a big mistake.

"Amy Schneider was born a man"
And still is one. You can put a $10,00 paint job on a Yugo, but it's still a Yugo.

Wow. After all that happened in her life, she may have had regrets. That’s sad in a way.

It makes me sick how Ken Jennings and ‘Jeopardy’ want to foist this idiotic charade on everyone.

Wonder if JK Rowling will complain, or tweet appropriately that his chosen gender does not make him a woman. I’d think Twitter would kick her off if she tweeted that.

What biological tricks? I watched episodes where Jazz.Jennings got a lopitoffame, and on the next episode, he was talking about his “vagina,” and the doctor called it a wound. That is what it is, although that has nothing to do with hormones.

He has no boobs.

ROTFL!

Why aren’t trans ‘men’ on any football or basketball teams? Why only fake women on women’s sports teams?

LOL

That is Newspeak, from Orwell’s 1984. I’ve recognised it as such, since I first heard it.

Ken Jennings?

[HYPOCRACY]

Bingo!
