Growing up in Ohio, Schneider says she didn't often see stories of transgender women in a positive light. But she toldthat seeing women in recent years, including Kate Freeman, who is believed to be the first out trans contestant to win"Jeopardy!" in December 2020,"inspired me to not be afraid of trying to compete in the thing I have always loved.
