Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider wants to "send a positive message to the nerdy trans girl"

USA Today

Schneider, the first transgender contestant to compete in the Tournament of Champions who with Tuesday's win now has $380,200 in earnings, says of making history on Jeopardy!: "I am so incredibly grateful. Hopefully I can send a positive message to the nerdy trans girl who wants to be on the show too...I'm not going to pretend I didn't think I could do good, but this is just so much better than I thought I would do."
