“That feeling is worth more to me than any financial gain could ever be,” said the game show champion, whose 40-game streak ended on Wednesday’s show.
since childhood, Schneider first auditioned for the show 15 years ago, before finally being selected for the candidate pool in 2020. She admitted to being anxious before her first taping on Sept. 26, believing she could be heading home after just one game. “I’d tried my best to prepare myself for that, but deep down I was scared,” she said.
While her winnings and fame have been nice, Schneider said her biggest reward has come from the celebration of her identity as a transgender woman. She said she’d been terrified to appear on air at first, believing she’d be ridiculed by the masses for her appearance. “I always believed that most people would see me as trans people have so often been seen: a freak, a pervert, a man in a dress, a liar, mentally ill,” she said. “And as the days counted down to my episodes airing, I braced myself for the rejection I was sure would come. And then…it just didn’t.”
While there were isolated bigots online , Schneider said she felt proud to have helped the cause of trans media representation. She told the New York Times she purposefully opted not to use a more altered feminine voice while playing, conscious it could slow her down, but also because she wanted to set an example for others. “Trans women watching can see me with my voice as it is and see me being OK with it,” she said.
