Americans fell in love with Amy Schneider being her friendly, whip-smart self on ‘Jeopardy,’ at the same time that transgender rights are being challenged in many parts of the country.
Oakland’s Amy Schneider appears on “Jeopardy!,” where she has won 22 consecutive games heading into Friday’s televised show. A few days before Amy Schneider taped her first “Jeopardy!” game, she decided to literally use her own voice, not the higher-pitched, “feminized” voice she learned after she began to transition several years ago.
“Once people accept trans people, they don’t go back,” Schneider told this news organization. “I get the impression that I’ve moved some people into the acceptance camp, and I hope that’s true.” “She was just an appealingly wonky, nerdy know-it-all kicking butt on a game show, who seemed like a really nice person,” Stryker added. It helped that Schneider was evidently chosen for “Jeopardy!” because she was good at the game, not because the show was specifically looking to diversify its contestant pool, Stryker said.
But the second decade of the 21st century saw an enormous increase in transgender visibility, Stryker said in her book. Unfortunately, as with any social movement, progress in transgender rights has faced resistance to change. State legislatures have since introduced bills that target transgender youth by trying to limit their ability to play on sports teams or access medical treatment. Schneider called the efforts in Texas and Arkansas to block gender-affirming treatment “life threatening.”
