    ANNOUNCEMENTS: -I was originally named “Thomas,” though I generally went by “Tom” for most of my life -I was born with a male anatomy, which yes, included a penis -I am in fact a trans woman, which is different from a cis woman Why you think I don’t know any of that is beyond me

    We’d been planning on using the $1.3 million from Jeopardy to buy a house, but now I’m thinking maybe I’ll just hold on to it for a year or two and then use it to buy Twitter

    I have an announcement: Genevieve is no longer my girlfriend... she's my fiancée!!! I couldn't be happier or more proud to spend my life with the very best person in the entire world 🥰🥰🥰

    I’d like to thank all the people who have taken the time, during this busy holiday season, to reach out and explain to me that, actually, I’m a man. Every single one of you is the first person ever to make that very clever point, which had never once before crossed my mind 🙏

    Tonight I went out to bar trivia for the first time since my first Jeopardy appearance! My team came in third

    Some of you may have heard, but I quit my day job yesterday! It's a bit nerve-wracking to pivot from software engineer to... public figure, I guess? But regardless of the outcome I'm so excited to spend the next couple years at least tackling this new challenge!

    Ooh, I actually have direct, first-hand information regarding this question! No, I was not. You don’t have to wonder about this any more! Now you can do literally anything else with your life instead

    5 years ago today, I finally took the leap into an authentic life, and told the world the truth about myself that I had always known. To anyone considering making the same choice: it won’t be as good as you imagine. It will be infinitely, indescribably better. Happy Pride, y’all

    One fun little bonus of being a trans woman is getting a pat-down every single time I go through the body scanner at an airport. “The machine flagged something in your groin area.” Yeah, I’ve flagged that, too, but it’s a long process to get it removed!

    I’ll get back to the backlogged game threads tomorrow. But I just want to acknowledge how overwhelmed I am by the things being written about me, and about what this run means. This has been a life-changing experience, thank you all so so much for your kindness and support ❤️

    -I'll post a full recap soon (tomorrow, hopefully, but as you can imagine I'll be doing a lot of interviews over the next day or two). But first, a few thoughts on this emotional day:

    Disappointed to hear that Jeopardy is considering this course of action. For what it’s worth, I, too, will not be participating in any Jeopardy productions that don’t use new clues written by their amazing, unionized writers under a fair, collectively bargained contract

    Eight years ago today, I came out as a woman. And despite all the cogent arguments people have made on this site, such as “No you’re not!” or “Eww, gross!”, I’m still a woman. If you disagree, please feel free to say so using an argument I’ve heard a million times before, thanks!
