She set a record-breaking win streak last January after winning 40 games in a row.

Amy recently sat down with Insider to talk about why she came out as trans.

[{"selector":"#anim-c96a0474-a640-41ca-8da2-8e1c8b77c7d5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b837f697-cb6c-4a73-8a87-f46e3ececb29","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd2f33e0-b80f-4b0c-a92f-3d2f13b2b921","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

She revealed that she started coming out at the end of 2016 into the beginning of 2017.

[{"selector":"#anim-084cd7fd-f2cf-4f64-a28f-3e06ad819ec9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed73bf9f-5b2d-41e5-81ce-0d50c2b0e176","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-83064524-2ad9-44b9-a0f5-1f6ff5e7224f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

She admitted that she lost a good friend in the process of coming out.

[{"selector":"#anim-38546ad3-135f-4d3e-a728-b48c750e97cc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-19293f28-2f69-4f52-96a5-278dfa0367c0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-604d5344-dd7a-465c-aff0-456e704cfe07","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, she said that the positives of coming out far outweighed the negatives.

[{"selector":"#anim-6e269d2d-4d37-4e28-80ae-0a3fd78bb5f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca78b7a4-8f52-4e21-8cee-b8919042e86c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-13f4eaa3-0c1c-440f-9119-ee084ec6f5d5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

She said that everyone should “come out,” even if they’re not LGBTQIA+.

She gave the example of a person being honest about not wanting to have kids, even when other people pressure them.
