WaPo: ‘Jeopardy!’ champ Amy Schneider’s 21st win in a row makes her the show’s winningest woman

(cont.) “Jeopardy!” episodes are recorded months before they air, but Schneider has taken to publishing postgame recaps after each show appears on TV, giving fans extra insight into her mentality and approach during a given contest.

In her Wednesday tweet thread analyzing her record-tying win, she said she and Collins have similar play styles, but she never imagined she would make it so far.

“It happened months ago for me, and I’m still trying to take it in,” Schneider wrote. “In my highest of high hopes, I never dreamed of matching Julia’s streak. It’s hard to say how I felt: proud, dazed, happy, numb, all those things.”

Schneider will have a chance to continue her streak this week, and could amass even more money at the next Tournament of Champions, where she could face another record-breaking recent contestant, Matt Amodio, who registered 38 wins and $1.5 million in his turn on the show this year.

The back-to-back bouts of record-smashing cap a tumultuous year for the iconic show after the loss of legendary host Alex Trebek, who died in 2020. Trebek’s replacement, former executive producer Mike Richards, was hired and fired in rapid succession, and the show has leaned on a rotating cast of guest hosts since, most recently former “Jeopardy!” champion Jennings.

In a December interview with The Washington Post, Schneider said she thinks people feel her historic run “has been good for ‘Jeopardy!’”

“I hope that’s the case, and it’s extremely gratifying,” she said. “The show has meant a lot to me … and if my run is good for the show, that’s all the better.”

Schneider has also said her success has had an impact on her personally — she is now, suddenly, a public figure, who gets recognized in grocery stores, and she has discussed the importance of representation and supporting the trans community.

In a recent interview with GLAAD, an LGBTQ media advocacy organization, Schneider said she hopes her time on the show inspires future trans contestants and shows that “there’s not an area in life in which we can’t succeed and excel.”

“That just because you haven’t seen anybody do it yet doesn’t mean somebody isn’t going to do it,” Schneider said. “Whatever it is you want to do, it can be done.”

See? Women can do everything men can do!

But for the fact that she's not a woman -- she is a transwoman.

Hoping that she's making "hosting" Ken Jennings nervous that she'll beat his record and end up usurping his role as host of the show to alternate with Mayim. Actually Jennings is doing a good job, but I think he makes the new contestants nervous by building up Amy before every appearance, possibly trying to freak her out too. But then again, there are still a few people who won more than Amy. Also, no one seems to bring up that Brad Rutter has won the most money on the show (and he might be family, too).

I hope she splurges on a wig.

For r5:

I bet she fucks like a champ. I want deep inside her mussy.

Is she hung? Anyone of DL have her?

Oh the irony! The enraged gnashing of teeth by the fairer sex over men/trans women doing the SAME shit women have done to men for decades. I hope it drives them insane. I laugh and laugh every time I see or hear some nagging female go on about men taking over their special spaces. Refulgent irony that only a woman could miss. Karma is a bitch, and she’s got a dick under that skirt to prove it. LOL!!!!!

What's the point of separate sport by sex, or comment about the first "woman" doing this and that, if are not a biological woman the ones who win? They are mocking women at this point, misogyny at its worst.

But she's pretty in pink!

r10 r9

She looka like a man!

Congrats ladies!

Right...

The 1% beats the 51% yet again. Nature has a favorite child. A favorite [bold]son[/bold], to be more precise.

[quote] Earlier this year, she became the first transgender contestant to make the Tournament of Champions, where the top players from each season compete.

So which is it? She’s breaking a transgender record. That’s great. But then you can’t say she’s breaking the women’s record. You can’t have it both ways. Pick a lane and stay in it.

r13

He's a MAN, baby!!!

Unimpressive from a man.

Wow, Austin Powers sure was transphobic. And this problematic guy got three sequels? The 90s were madness!

r20 what would be impressive for a man vs a woman?

just how unequal are males and females when it comes to well, everything.

So are all those women’s records he smashed actually still intact?

He was a man all through school and well into adulthood. Where was the challenge for him?

This would not be an issue at all if he'd just quit pretending to be a woman. Have your personality, wear your fussy little cardigans, just knock it off with the bullshit. He isn't even effeminate, he's a regular dude who would never be mistaken for female under any circumstances.

So deeply obnoxious.

R24, Who couldn’t tell that was a man during the introductions on his first show?

r24 so, just how inferior are women to men that this person is a loser?

r24 I see your point on the first paragraph, but call bullshit on the second. We have no way of knowing if she's actually transgender (they do exist), autogynephilic, or simply taking the piss. There are plenty of natal females who are masculine looking af, too--and not necessarily trans/lesbian, either.

r10 that is two totally different things. Natal males do have inherent advantages in sports, and if you're going to separate by gender identity (not sex, as they used to do), that needs to be acknowledged at the very least. Having a trivia competition segregated by sex/gender is ridiculous. There is no difference between male/female brains. That's a result of cultural/societal bias in history. Yes, I realize it's just for fake bragging rights, like Everest climbers (first blind, double amputee furry who identifies as a werewolf!), but still...

R16 Trans women don't make 1% of the population.

Maybe now she can afford to get her ding dong ripped off and her hoo-haw sewn on!

[quote]What's the point of separate sport by sex, or comment about the first "woman" doing this and that, if are not a biological woman the ones who win? They are mocking women at this point, misogyny at its worst.

Jeopardy is a sport now?

[Quote]There is no difference between male/female brains.

Utter nonsense. Start with size or number of neurons.

Biology stops existing when feminists want it to.

Then starts existing again when they want it to.

And so on.

r31 there's no major difference that affects either sex to the point where they have superior/inferior intellectual capacity, regardless of processing differences.

R33 Wishful thinking. Men dominate the right tail of cognitive skills distribution because of brain size and structure differences, not because of society. In fact, considering women have outnumbered men in college campi since the early 90s, as far as society goes, it's women who should have the upper hand in a competition such as this. Instead, the gender disparity is such that even the highest performing woman is a biological male.

R9 is the creepiest lower life form on this board.

And we suspect he used ‘refulgent’ incorrectly.

R34 so trivia games for mass entertainment are considered a constructive use of higher-order thinking now.

Cool, wow, so crazy🙄

Oh, R36.

If a ciswoman was the highest scoring overall champ on Jeopardy we'd NEVER stop hearing about it from you.

TRANSWOMEN ARE WOMEN!

A CABBAGE IS A HAT!

A FROG IS A COFFEE TABLE!

MENTAL ILLNESS IS MENTAL HEALTH!

R38 no, you wouldn’t. Such things are beneath me, and should be beneath any woman who values a life of the mind and high-culture.

You enjoy your gameshows, though.

And, surprising no one, the British woman at R40 is also an anti-surrogacy homophobe.

R41 hardly ‘phobia’ to expect a level of consideration from men, is it?

Conversely, your demands for ‘respect’ for transpeople reach beyond consideration, and are in truth demands for total compliance and subjugation, allowing the entitled and the mentally-ill tear into our humanity.

And, also unsurprisingly, we get to have a British woman tell us what homophobia is and isn't!

R43 imagine showing off for a gaggle of messageboard elders...

It's so funny when gay men get told what is and isn't homophobic by one Britain's bored middle-aged extremely online TERFs!

Homophobia is so funny!

Hey, R45 et al, fuck off and shove your misogyny up your ass. You'd like that, right?

No trans woman's ever told me that.

Of course not you fool, because they're men.

And, from my experience, less homophobic than the average rad fem.

British heifers go away!

Between Alex Trebek's death and the wokeness that is now Jeopardy, the show is ruined for me. I am both sad and mad at this.

Yes, all this insanity! Science has spoken and men are smarter.

R53 except this person declares that they are not a man.

Can only pick one way to cut, I’m afraid.

[quote]Can only pick one way to cut, I’m afraid.

Unlike you.

How are you going to chalk the highest scoring woman having a dick up to bone density?

The DNA test came back. It’s a man. The women’s record is safe.

How far down are women in the Best Player rankings?

Not an autogyne, she's had the chop (as the expression goes).

I'm more surprised the term "winningest" hasn't triggered many Dataloungers?

I hope she makes it to a million dollars, and then I think it will be time to let someone else win.

[quote]makes him the show’s winningest man in a dress

Reality.

Lol R60.

Alex never would have had a tranny on the show.

Not in all his years.

[quote] How far down are women in the Best Player rankings?

It’s pretty far down that no real woman is ever going to beat this new “women’s” record just like no real woman is ever going to beat Lia Thomas’s record.

You need to drink to exist in today’s world.

[quote] You need to drink to exist in today’s world.

I'll drink to that!

[quote]It’s pretty far down that no real woman is ever going to beat this new “women’s” record

Oh, that's interesting.

[quote]Not an autogyne, she's had the chop (as the expression goes).

We do not know that for a fact. Amy obfuscates and uses coy words that can mean whatever the trans want it to mean.

When Amy says the penis and testicles were removed surgically then I will believe that. I think I will believe Amy. There's such absolute dishonesty in this community that it's hard to believe anything without hard proof. No pun intended. Amy is with a woman, so I'd say chances are just as likely that nothing has really changed in that regard.

Her bone density means none of the other women can compete with her!

I think this woman next to me has a prick.

r64

All that muscle mass! It's not fair!

Winningist? What kind of dipshit retards does WaPo employ nowadays? A high schooler could come up with a more grammatically correct headline. What is it with modern journalism and juvenile baby talk?

[quote] You need to drink to exist in today’s world.

That's just you, honey.

They should release the name of the headline writer who wrote " winningest" and the editor who approved it. Along with a public apology. Neither of these individuals should be permitted employment again. What's their next headline? " Covid Rises To The Mostest High Level Ever"?

The billionaires are controlling the narrative in every corner. Its gonna get weirder before it gets better.

A college chum's sister wrote headlines for the WaPo and the NY Times. I had no idea that was an actual job. I mean that's all they do - write headlines. This was decades ago so maybe they make them do more now that the media has tightened its belts - maybe also change bathroom signs from Women to Everyone's Welcome.

Jeopardy doesn’t have separate categories for men and women. If she wasn’t the “winningest” woman, she would be the “winningest” person named Amy whose favorite color is green. It doesn’t mean that much. Sure, men tend to be better at Jeopardy and math (but don’t say it if you are the president of Harvard), but lots of women win at Jeopardy and lots are excellent at math. She seems like a nice person who is making an effort to be gracious. I can’t imagine being so bitter as to begrudge someone with the shitty luck to have a man’s body and want to be a woman a win like this. What is she supposed to do? Refuse the informal title that doesn’t actually mean anything?

They are R74.

Let’s have a drink!

R76 I agree. I understand the issue of trans women competing against other women in athletic events but not where men and women already compete with each other.

[quote] Alex never would have had a tranny on the show.

But he did

[quote] I can’t imagine being so bitter as to begrudge someone with the shitty luck to have a man’s body and want to be a woman a win like this.

No one is begrudging her win. She won fair and square. But she is not the winningest woman.

Rofl R66!

He probably goes home and bangs his girlfriend with his throbbing PENIS.

I don't care what anyone says. That is a MAN.

Yes, in the bedroom he is a man. Under the sheets, they are a heterosexual couple. But outwardly to the public, they are a lesbian couple.

How about "Winningest person named Amy Schneider"?

Geez some of this is just so petty. Let the person have her acclaim. Sex/gender are not relevant issues here - there is no advantage being played here.

How is it fair for her to be answering trivia questions when her testosterone levels are twice that of biological women?!

[quote]Sex/gender are not relevant issues here

They most certainly are. Characterizing a man in a dress as a "woman" is erroneous, as well as insulting and demeaning to women.

R85 If she's punching out other contestants during the show, there might be an argument to make - definite SNL skit material.

I really like her tbh. Seems like a really nice person and it's great to see such a fan do so well.

We need a separate Jeopardy for bio-womyn only.

[quote] Geez some of this is just so petty. Let the person have her acclaim. Sex/gender are not relevant issues here

If sex/gender are not the issue here then why all the headlines about her breaking female records for winningest woman on Jeopardy?? Why not wait until he breaks Ken Jennings’s record then if sex/gender is not the issue?

R86 What is really demeaning to women is being endowed with the tiny unstable brains that Nature has given them! Amy is ELEVATING womankind by letting them share in the glory of her big, potent XY brain!

I hope he spends some of that money to buy a nice big pair of tits. Even Bruce/Caitlyn has a nice big pair of tits.

R92, You still have a bladder the size of a peanut, Trixie.

Still none of the TRAs on this thread can explain how it is fair for a six foot behemoth to be answering trivia questions alongside womyn!

Honest question: any theory why women are further down in the rankings? I'm not very familiar with Jeopardy, but it's a trivia game, right? Are there also stakes being made? If yes, what does the game reward: knowledge in certain fields like politics, sports, literature, etc. or a good nose for statistics for example?

Wait, isn’t this cultural appropriation? Should I be following the science? I can’t keep up

You can watch it YouTube. It's a standard TV quiz show, R95.

R95, for the same reason there are more men who won the Nobel prize, Pulitzer, achieved math breakthroughs, inventions, vaccines, medicine, etc. Men have larger brains and are smarter.

r95 I wonder if it's because women are more risk-averse and less likely to buzz in, even if they think they know the right answer.

[quote][R95], for the same reason there are more men who won the Nobel prize, Pulitzer, achieved math breakthroughs, inventions, vaccines, medicine, etc. Men have larger brains and are smarter.

More TRAs mansplaining to us!

Biology says men and women are different but beyond that they are not different in any way.

R88, I know. She seems quite genial and normal, reminds me of Phyllis from “The Office”.

I don’t consider Amy’s brain “female”, though. She’s still a white male dominating “Jeopardy”. Good for her, but I don’t see this as a win for women.

Why are spelling bee champs always South or East Asian? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[quote][R95] I wonder if it's because women are more risk-averse and less likely to buzz in, even if they think they know the right answer.

You're reaching so hard you might even find what's under your gunt.

r103 sounds lovely.

Because they are (culturally) programmed to memorize and spit back "facts" R102. Western learning has more to do with thought and analysis.

r103 also W&W herself several times

R90 Because she identifies herself as a woman, duh.

[quote] Because she identifies herself as a woman, duh.

We don't care what he identifies as. He is a man. You'd think someone supposedly smart would know what sex they are. So he must be the stupidest winningest Jeopardy contestant.

I actually think those who are making a fuss out of this do more harm than good to their cause.

Amy comes across as an intelligent/modest contestant on a game show, whereas they come across as petty and divisive.

Is Jeopardy really the hill they want to die on?

R98, even if what you said were true on a purely statistical level, it wouldn’t mean that every man is smarter than every woman. Size isn’t all that matters.

For those fixated on WaPo using the word "winningest", from Merriam-Webster:

[quote]Winningest - adjective. win·​ning·​est | ˈwi-niŋ-əst Definition of winningest: having achieved the most wins. Examples of winningest in a sentence: She's the winningest coach in the conference...First Known Use of Winningest - 1972, in the meaning defined above.

r108 I just wish we'd stop enabling mental illness. At this rate, it's going to be considered "hate speech" to tell schizophrenics that the voices aren't real.

When are we going to hear more about "The Penis Mightier"?

R109

I agree. It’s hard to make sense of arguments for fairness and safety here.

They really just don’t want trans women to exist at all.

R114, that’s not it at all. It’s great that she won all this money. We’re just saying she didn’t break any female records. That’s it.

You can look how TERF Twitter is reacting.

They want her morally mandated out of existence.

Hopefully she can use her winnings to get something better than that Casual Corner jacket.

R115 Nah, the former most winning woman is now only second place. Her leadership has been erased. No doubt she cries nightly.

It’s not erased though. She still holds the female record. Amy holds the trans record.

R109 The gender critical movement has turned into a cult, so don't expect these people to show good sense. In their heads, they embody good, and Amy evil. They're reason, science, and sisterhood, and Amy is delusion, misogyny, perversion and, of course, maleness. So they're allowed to say about Amy whatever comes up to them at any given moment, with no regard to context or proportion.

r27 but the way she plays is very aggressive and there is a difference between how male and female play the game. She presses the button first before knowing she has the answer. That is the key to jeopardy. It is to buzz in first. If you only know 90% of the answers that is how you win. Not knocking her knowledge but you have to have balls of steel to play that way. With this strategy you get all the double jeopardies and winning those gets you back in front after losing a few because you buzzed in too fast. I watched her do this and get to a certain position well ahead of them and only after the double jeopardies were already out did she let up on the buzzer and others could answer getting small amounts of cash. She plays a strategy in final jeopardy that is wise and I can't make any point with that but her play in the main game is very testosterone driven. Bio women should take note and try to emulate although it's not natural behavior.

r95, I did answer it above at r122, that post not just in reply to one specific post. Just came to thread and first I read talking about the competition on an intellectual level favoring men. The post is for many of the other comments too. It's not that a man is more intelligent but his style of play is more outgoing, so to say. Out there like a gambler who bluffs. Some sentiments in the poker community are women rarely bluff (some pros have gone against that, knowing the stereotype) but the same notion, women are less likely to risk clicking the buzzer before they have the answer. Winning on Jeopardy depends on you buzzing in first and to do that you have to hit it before you have had time to think of the answer. You have confidence you will know the majority of them so you just hit the buzzer.

[quote]so don't expect these people to show good sense.

Where is the "sense", good or otherwise, in calling a man in a dress a woman?

[quote] They're reason, science, and sisterhood, and Amy is delusion,

Science says both Schneider and those who encourage/champion him are delusional.

[quote]So they're allowed to say about Amy whatever comes up to them at any given moment, with no regard to context or proportion.

Neither "context" nor "proportion" are factors in highlighting the insanity of both Schneider and his supporters.

Autogynes (cocks in frocks) are one thing: men play-acting as women. Amy seems dysphoric, where one psychiatrist said, "The resistence to resolving gender identity is so strong in these cases that it's more practical to just (re-assign) them."

I don't see Amy buzzing in early as much as Matt did. What I see bringing her down might be a night where the categories happen to reflect the challengers' strengths enough that they" tag team" around her confidently.

Some new more feminine teeth would definitely go a long way toward making her look more like a woman. As it is she looks like a not very attractive man in drag. And she needs a better hair style.

Well, with all the money s/he won, s/he'll be looking more like a woman-born-woman in no time!

R115 Absolutely: my deep respect for everyone winning this. He's just not a woman. Congratulations to the guy in a dress. If you dress up as a tree, it also doesn't make you one. It isn't good for a society to force people to lie.

Are we still talking about this? Move on, people.

She needs some sort of $$$ professional makeover. Doing it herself, as I assume, isn't cutting it. I've mentioned it before that she looks at least 10 years older than 37!

Male aspie wins Jeopardy. News at 11.

I think I got into a brawl with her several years back in Glasgow - good times.

Someone on my Twitter feed was accusing Jennings of being transphobic but without saying it. All the fraus responding kept saying the same thing, but dancing around the accusation.

I don't get that at all, since he seems to genuinely like Amy.

He did not use the correct words. Off with his head.

I can't imagine how hard it is to look at an obvious man in a dress and try to remember to call it a 'she' or risk making it, and the rest of its cult, homicidally angry. I hope this shit ends soon before I have to be in a situation to speak to one of these creatures.

What baffles me is how those on the TRAs essentially have too conflicting narratives/arguments.

1) Trans people need more recognition, representation, and inclusion by "cis" people if society is ever to "progress" toward embracing diversity.

2) Trans people are [italic]exactly[/italic] the same as the genders they identify (i.e. "transwomen/transmen are women/men") and should be recognized as part of that demographic.

The problem with these two conflicting narratives is that if transwomen/transmen are just [italic]the same[/iitalic] as women/men, then there is no need to distinguish them as trans, thereby, nullifying the "demand and/or need" for trans representation and outright eliminating the term "cis" as a descriptor for "non-trans" people. If they're just regular women/men, then the concept of being trans doesn't exist, and there is no distinct group to represent or include for diversity's sake in the first place.

On the other hand, if they demand to be represented and included as trans, then they are conceding to the fact that being trans is not the same as being men/women and subsequently supporting the counter-argument that trans people need their own spaces, categories, etc., and then stop trying to overtake ours.

Holy shit... *two conflicting narratives/arguments

And the formatting...

I need my coffee.

R137 It's no different that blacks, Jews & the disabled saying they're like everyone else

but still have BET, Israel & the Special Olympics (or are you for ending all of those bells & whistles too?).

[quote]but still have BET, Israel & the Special Olympics (or are you for ending all of those bells & whistles too?).

Would you be fine with an able-bodied person proclaiming that he or she identifies as disabled and then competing and beating everyone in the Special Olympics?

R140 You ignored BET & Israel.

I guess cherry picking suits you.

r139 Actually, it's more like an able-bodied, non-Black or non-Jewish person "identifying" as disabled, Black or Jewish, and then demanding to be recognized as such in disabled, Black, and Jewish spaces while simultaneously pushing the narrative that they're "transdisabled," "transracial," or "transethnic Jews," and should be recognized as a legitimate identity completely separate from "cisdisabled," "cisracial," or "cisethnic Jews," to promote "diversity."

You're comparing apples to oranges, here.

[quote] Someone on my Twitter feed was accusing Jennings of being transphobic but without saying it. All the fraus responding kept saying the same thing, but dancing around the accusation.

He referred to him as a he. “With his winning total of... “

R141, I didn't want to muddy my point. I wanted to use one clear example to show you that you have no logical point at all. So, go ahead and answer my simple, clearly stated question.

Let’s go Amy! ❤️❤️

R145 I agree!!!

Anita Bryant's head must be exploding right about now.

Don't worry R144 you won't muddy your point.

Go ahead now & tie it to BET & Israel (for the sake of consistency).

This just proves women are, in fact, smarter than men.

- iroll

R147, R142 already did that. The only relevant example you used was the disabled one because it involves people competing under false identities. Why can't you answer a simple question?

If you are okay with men calling themselves women and competing and beating actual women then the logical conclusion is that you are also okay with able-bodied people calling themselves disabled and competing and beating actual disabled people. There isn't a prezel big enough to allow you to answer the question in any other way than the affirmative but you don't want to say that so you just play games instead. Like I said, we all see you and know exactly what you are.

It's easy R149. Amy qualified to Jeopardy's definition of a woman so they gave her the proper due/title.

The Special Olympics panels/staff decides who is qualified (& who isn't) to enter into their events.

Now respond to BET & Israel. Why if blacks & Jews are like everyone else (& want to be integrated) do they need their own network & own nation? Gypsies have been discriminated against for centuries but they don't have their own network or nation.

[quote]Amy qualified to Jeopardy's definition of a woman so they gave her the proper due/title.

Then Jeopardy's definition is scientifically erroneous, as well as demeaning and insulting to women.

[quote]Why if blacks & Jews are like everyone else (& want to be integrated) do they need their own network & own nation?

Jews are and have always been a recognized nation, with a history, language, laws, culture and identity. Only in the US are Jews erroneously relegated to a "religion".

Can Amy swim?

It is what it is, and it is not a female.

R113, when you answer the question about Anal Bum Cover.

Sorry R151. A solid majority of US women support all aspects of transwomen rights.

The right to marry, adopt, serve in the military, id pics that reflect their appearances, employment non discrimination protections, have insurance coverage for their trans medical needs & to use women's public bathrooms, & to identify as a woman even if they were born male, etc.

This video below was 2 years ago & the issue has been settled in 90% of the country=

^ That video was 2019 not 2020.

[quote] A solid majority of US women support all aspects of transwomen rights.

Another trans lie. No they do not.

Proof R157?

Youth polling =

Back in 2019, 54% of US women supported transgenders to use the bathroom that they identified with =

Define "transgender rights". What are "anti-transgender" laws?

Oh I know the ones that allow 14 year old girls to have their breasts removed without parental consent. Or the ones that allow puberty blockers. Or the ones that allow the age of medical consent to be lowered.

The T community plays this word game and then they put out these misleading and dishonest surveys.

Puleeze. GTFO.

....

Head tilt AND pearls....what a lady.

There's gotta be somebody out there who's smart and quick enough to take this bitch down. I'm sick of seeing her.

[quote]A solid majority of US women support all aspects of transwomen rights.

No the hell we do not. Bitch, sit down.

Be humble.

"A solid majority of US women support all aspects of transwomen rights."

You are living in a dream world. Women are so intimidated and fearful about this issue that they will say or do anything they have to when asked about it in a public setting. Do you really think a single mother, for example, would risk losing her job so she can bitch about a trans-identified male using the bathroom at her workplace? She'll bite her lip, seethe, and wait for the next election cycle.

As R162 pointed out, Trans, Inc. has been playing mind and word games with the general public, hoping to continue to make "smoke-filled room" deals on this for as long as possible, as quietly as possible. But they were only putting off the inevitable. See the video below for the reality that you can't avoid forever, R155.

[quote]A solid majority of US women support all aspects of transwomen rights.

Polls are notoriously subjective and agenda-driven. Such as those posted at R159 R160 R161. Not "misleading" or "dishonest" as asserted by R162, but rather structured and formulated to achieve the desired outcome, in this instance, to provide a fait accompli for "trans" agenda.

Ugly man

And, don't forget that they've glommed onto the gay rights movement. Most people aren't as aware of what is going on as we here are so when a woman in the general public is asked about T she goes immediately to gay rights because LGBT. Women have always supported gay rights more than men and the T are now using it against them and us.

R167 A sports memo is your comeback?

R168 The bottom line is the farthest part of the right wing would love to ban ALL trans rights like they did with same sex marriage at the federal lever back in the 90s.

The fact that Trumpy had the WH & a R majority Congress & couldn't roll back any trans rights except for a lame "their medical bills are too expensive so they have to go" argument to ban trans troops (with a solid majority of voters against it in EVERY poll) shows you that they have moved on to CRT & illegals to rally their voters. The fact that Biden reversed the trans military ban without a single outcry from the repubs in Congress shows that trans rights are moving forward on every issue. The sports thing won't be any different. Time is on their side. Deal with it.

Time is not on their side r172. There has been a backlash in the UK that is picking up steam, and it is slowly happening here in the US, as well. It's not going to change the minds of gender fanatics though.

They've ridden the coattails of gay men and lesbians for long enough.

It's gone exactly as predicted. From claiming trans women are women (gender) to claiming trans women biologically become th female sex and are literally no different from women, to wanting to have all the things women have.

Public support for a lot of trans movement demands that encroach on existing sex-based rights goes away once people realize that only something like 10% of trans have gender change operations. When people realize these are fully intact men with functional penises, they give a markedly different response.

So bring on the male swimmers self identifying as women and beating women in competitions that were never designed for men vs. women. All that is doing is peaking more people.

The way trans activism works is that the less you know the better for them. That's why the "no debate!!" mantra, the bullying, cancelling, death threats etc. As more of this is exposed and more women realize their rights are being stripped away, the more pushback there will be.

R168 is correct. Can you imagine the numbers if polls asked questions like, "Should a 14-year-old trans-identified girl be allowed to proceed with a mastectomy against the wishes of her parents?" rather than "Do trans children deserve compassionate medical treatment?" Or "Should trans-identified males be allowed to compete against female athletes?" rather than "Do trans people have the right to participate in athletics?" People don't even know what they're being asked.

[quote] Polls are notoriously subjective and agenda-driven . . . Not "misleading" or "dishonest" . . . but rather structured and formulated to achieve the desired outcome, in this instance, to provide a fait accompli for "trans" agenda.

Not to beat a dead horse, but how the hell is what you described NOT misleading or dishonest. That's exactly what you described. Misleading and dishonest.

Seriously the word games will be the death of us.

R155, maybe so, but so much of it is based on misconceptions, thinking that trans and intersex are the same, etc. The idea of woman-attracted trans women who do not have any intersex characteristics joining women’s spaces will be less appealing to the general population, and has only just started to happen or enter awareness. You’ll see a lot of well meaning people online trying to defend trans biological reality simply by stating the existence of intersex/DSD people, not realizing those are two separate groups of people. Even a lot of the older studies done a couple decades ago on male-attracted trans women were done on people with DSD, inability to process androgens, ambiguous sexual development. So when you read about trans issues those studies come up, but people identifying as trans today are much more likely to be women attracted trans women or male attracted trans men, and the studies do not show the same characteristics as for people who used to identify as transgender.

Does her pussy stink?

I'm happy for 'her' and all, but I'm ready for her to move on. I'm ready for all ongoing contestants to move-on after being there so long. It gets to a point where you're only watching to see a new millionaire rack up dollars every night, and that does nothing for me.

I am interested, however, in the whole, "I'm a woman with a girlfriend" thing. I don't deny their right to do it and respect it of course, I'm just curious how that works. If the girlfriend is attracted to him as a woman, or if he performs as a man in bed, (if he has a penis). It sounds so complicated. Anyway, good for her. I hope she works on the hairline and in selecting lady clothing.

[quote] I'm just curious how that works. If the girlfriend is attracted to him as a woman, or if he performs as a man in bed, (if he has a penis). It sounds so complicated.

Usually they had the girlfriend before they transitioned and the girlfriend is just sticking around. No, she’s not attracted to him as a woman and nothing changes in the bedroom.

In this case, the gf is likely gay/bi

Why would the gf all of a sudden become gay/bi if she wasn’t before?

She's a MAN. Ugly AF.

I infer the gf arrived on the scene after Amy did away with her boy-bits, R181.

The wife of tran writer Jan Morris (dead name James), stayed with him to the end as a partner.

She's slipping. The past two nights she's lost Final Jeopardy and lost huge chunks of what she could've earned (though she still wins anyway). If she keeps playing like this, it won't be long before somebody gets lucky because she bets too much in a Final Jeopardy round where she doesn't know the answer and puts herself in 2nd place by doing it.

But most of the people she plays with seem to be complete morons. It's almost like they rig it by choosing complete idiots they know can't beat her.

I think it has to do with covid limiting the available talent pool.

[quote]It's almost like they rig it by choosing complete idiots they know can't beat her.

R184, I have learned, and been amazed, that the trans movement is like a steamroller. It has had astounding success in such a short amount of time, unlike any other civil rights or LGBT issue we've ever seen. I think eventually, history will look back at this as a lesson to learn. And while I doubt Jeopardy! would attempt to throw the competition, I wouldn't be shocked that there's at least a little truth to your question. Again, the entire trans thing seems to have captured near-universal acceptance and embracement by the power establishment. It's not so far-fetched that they would be supporting an agenda by assisting this contestant. But I doubt that's the truth. I hope.

If you’re so smart, R34, you’d know that the plural of “campus” is not “ “campi.” 😂

Amy's success has helped Ken Jennings a lot as host.

More people tune in when there's a big winning streak like this, and Ken is associated with it now.

Mayim Bialik is fine as a host, but I think Jennings is the long-term keeper.

And I don't like them alternating hosts.

(And I feel more comfortable watching with a man at the helm.)

I hope Amy's reign of terror ends this week.

[Quote]Women are so intimidated and fearful about this issue that they will say or do anything they have to when asked about it in a public setting.

Gosh, why do so many men want to be women these days? Everything one hears about them makes them look so pathetic.

You can tell this thread is filled with Nancies who don’t follow sports. “Winningest” is not an unusual word, especially with regard to coaches or those competing in individual sports.

R155 that was the "we just want to pee" phase. This wss where everyone was on board still. Have you been living under a rock since?

The end of Amy tonight. Her reign as Queen of Jeopardy has ended.

"Sorry [R151]. A solid majority of US women support all aspects of transwomen rights"

I bet a solid majority of women also do not realize that the designation of "transgender" requires no biological changes and can be based on a personal feeling In other words, a guy with no hormonal or surgical treatment can declare himself a woman and that's all the newer laws require. If they knew that, their answer would change in many cases.

However, Jeopardy has no female or male prizes, and 21 wins is an impressive streak which most people would not be able to match. Congratulations to anyone achieving such success.

She lost to a librarian like James Holzhauer did, but a creepy ass librarian with yellow glasses and a face you'd see on a sex offender registry. Shame Amy went out to this bozo. I bet he loses tomorrow night.

What other categories defined by biology and material reality can one "identify" into and out of?

Amy Schneider’s 21st win in a row makes her the show’s winningest "woman".

It looks like the guy who defeated Amy was a 1-day wonder. He lost already on his 2nd game.

KING!

Please describe in detail the thrill you get from ruining things for the vast majority of people who haven't seen it until much later?

Where can I watch this? It seems Jeopardy is the only show you have to watch live as it’s not streaming anywhere.

You can watch it later in the evening on YouTube, R202. Daily episodes are available there for a little while.

[quote] It looks like the guy who defeated Amy was a 1-day wonder. He lost already on his 2nd game.

The same thing happened to the person who beat James Holthauser. They lost the next game, after beating James.

Few winners keep up the momentum for long. Thank god.

Poor Amy.

R206, With $1.3 million?

$630k goes to taxes.

In an interview with Billy Bush yesterday, Amy said she's already bought some designer clothing with the money.

Amy signed with CAA today.

Did Billy Bush grab her by the pussy?

R211, He tried, but he couldn't find it.

James, Matt and Amy can't deduct most of the CA local tax on that money under the Republican tax law in effect ($10K ceiling).

So she is a he?

Welcome back, Rip VanWinkle @ R214.

She's got a penis, trust me.
