She has now made Jeopardy! history three times: by becoming the first out trans person to make it into the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions, the highest-earning female contestant of all time and the female contestant with the most consecutive wins.

Her whip-smart retort to her haters illustrates also why she’s become such a fan favorite.
