VIDEO: THE WINNINGEST WOMAN VIDEO: THE WINNINGEST WOMAN Print When Amy Schneider took the stage to vie for the championship on the U.S. TV game show Jeopardy!, she was just another contestant with a buzzer in her hand and encyclopedic knowledge. As she kept winning day after day, more than 9.2 million people tuned in to root for her, more than those who tuned in to watch 60 Minutes, one of the most viewed programs on network television today. How far would she get? Would she break Ken Jennings' record of winning seventy-four consecutive games? After forty games, her winning streak ended. While she didn't beat Jennings, her performance was the show’s second longest streak and made her the most successful woman in the show’s history. Schneider’s True Self According to Schneider, she’s an average American. From Dayton, Ohio, she’s a cat owner, works as a software engineer, founded her high school debate club, and wears pearls. She also happens to be a transgender woman, a fact that, over the forty shows and many news interviews, watchers learned was just part of her identity. As Schneider told one interviewer, “The best part for me has been being on TV as my true self. Expressing myself, representing the entire community of trans people and … just being a smart, confident woman doing something super normal like being on Jeopardy!” Schneider’s Show Choices Wardrobe: Although most contestants probably worry about what to wear, being a trans woman, she purposefully thought about her appearance. She told The New York Times that she made a few shopping trips, packed her favorite pink jacket, and overpacked jewelry before deciding to continue wearing what became her signature: a string of pearls. Vocal Pitch: She had considered using a higher pitched voice for the show, but decided consciously altering her voice could affect her game play. Therefore, she went with her usual register and has no regrets with the decision. “Trans women watching can see me with my voice as it is and see me being okay with it,” she told the Times. People vary their vocal pitch all the time. Think of those who lower their voice when they’re talking to a colleague and raise it when they’re talking to a child. A University of Stirling psychological research study published in PLOS ONE, explains that people tend to alter their pitch in response to those they think are dominant and prestigious. In fact, the only people who don’t alter their pitch are those who “use methods like manipulation, coercion, and intimidation to acquire social status.” Why Stories Like Schneider’s Matter Throughout history, stories are how we’ve learned about each other. Sometimes we learn about people like us and other times we learn about people with dissimilar identities. Organizational psychologist Peg Neuhauser found that learning which stems from a well-told story is remembered more accurately, and for far longer, than learning derived from facts and figures. And when we read stories of those with marginalized identities just living their lives, we’re taking powerful action too: forming emotional connections building empathy gaining a deeper understanding of others’ experiences letting others know they are not alone in the world As Schneider wrote for Newsweek: “It was inspirational for me to see transgender contestants on the show before I became a contestant and I hope that I am now doing that same thing for all the other trans Jeopardy! fans out there. I hope I have given them the opportunity to see a trans person succeed. Until very recently trans people didn't see themselves doing much out in the world, so to actually see something like this happen really opens your mind up to possibilities.” Watch: Here, GLAAD interviews Amy Schneider about her decision to wear the trans flag pin on Jeopardy! and lets us in on the complications of what might seem to be a simple choice.
