Last month, Amy Schneider’s impressive 40-game “Jeopardy!” winning streak came to an end. Schneider’s achievement was all the more impressive because she is a trans woman.

While she was still enjoying her lucrative run on the game show, The Babylon Bee paid tribute to her stunning achievement:

"Trans Woman Breaks Jeopardy Record, Proving Once And For All That Men Are Smarter Than Women"

'How to pick up Jewish chicks':

Vile antisemitic picture shows human remains on a shovel - but Facebook refused to remove it

Facebook has been accused of "enabling vicious Jewish hatred" after telling users an image depicting human remains on a shovel below the tag line "How to pick up Jewish chicks" did not breach its standards.

Just days after back flipping on its decision to censor an iconic Vietnam War photo of a naked girl escaping a napalm bombing, the social media giant is again under fire over its handling of posts reported as offensive.

In reply to complaints about the shovel image - which was widely shared, "liked" 21,000 times, and received more than 37,000 comments - Facebook said: "We reviewed the post you reported for displaying hate speech and found it doesn't violate our community standards."

Under its community standards policy, Facebook says it "removes hate speech" that attacks people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin and religious affiliation.

"We allow humour, satire or social commentary related to these topics, and we believe that when people use their authentic identity, they are more responsible when they share this kind of commentary," the policy says.

The image was posted to a page attributed to a Queensland man late last month and shared 2280 times. It has now been removed but tens of thousands of comments, many of which are anti-Semitic, were still visible in the thread as late as Thursday.

A Facebook spokesman said the image was removed for breaching community standards and that the company was still investigating.

But 24 hours after being asked, the spokesman could still not say when the photo was taken down. Facebook could also not explain why only the photo was initially removed and not the entire thread - which is standard when a post is pulled.

Facebook has a weird idea of what “hate” means.

[MercyFlush]

Get off of Facebook and stop worrying about them censoring you.

Bwahahahaha! That’s funny.

(Stupid Facebook.)

[Yo-Yo]

I put Facebook into Yo-Yo jail for violating my decency standards.

[brownsfan]

Anything the left doesn’t want to hear is hate speech.

[ifinnegan]

Funny joke.

Schneider’s achievement was all the more impressive because she is a trans woman.

How so? How does wearing clothes more appropriate to the opposite sex make an achievement of intelligence "more impressive"?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Truth is hate to people who hate truth.

[Huskrrrr]

FaceButt has been dead to me for a year and a half.

Along the same lines, there is a ‘woman’ who is shattering all the Ivy League Women’s Swimming records. I hope that all the woke women will realize that eventually, “women’s sports” will eventually become dominated, and may be the exclusive province of transgenders. That’s progress for you.

Maybe they should have inserted the word “Christian” or “gun owner” instead-—Fakebook would have awarded them with the Nobel peace prize.

Schneider’s achievement was all the more impressive because she is a trans woman.

Why is that? Are "trans women" somehow stupider than regular women? OR men for that matter.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

They’re better swimmers, too.
