Babylon Bee's satirical post about trans woman Jeopardy! champ has been yanked by Facebook for violating 'Community Standards on hate speech'

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:

The Babylon Bee also shared their post on Facebook. But if you go to their Facebook page today, you won’t find it.

Because it’s been taken down for violating Facebook’s Community Standards on hate speech:

Oh.

bet it was a female mod

What is a female, though, really?

Leave it to the Babylon Bee to have a sense of humor about it:

Pretty proud of this. It's not often we manage to get transphobia and misogyny into one headline

Not too shabs, guys. Way to find the silver lining!

That was an all-timer

It was great. In all seriousness, though, there’s not much that’s funny about Facebook banning “hate speech” that isn’t actually hate speech just because it’s not woke.

Satire is hate speech? Comedy truly is dead in the woke world. https://t.co/IcJJabHKOO

"Hate speech" is simply words used to describe reality that they don't want acknowledged. https://t.co/cRivlh8gjJ

Bingo.

Anyway:

It’d be a shame if a lot of people retweeted this… https://t.co/LNUfJwVhdA

Well, our only response can be to retweet this as much as we can. https://t.co/QSfg7JnajK
