Woke Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings has been condemned by an online transgender mob for playing one of The New York Times' online games.
Jennings, 52, came under fire after he admitted to playing the Spelling Bee word game in a post he made on BlueSky, the left-wing alternative to X.
'My wife and I have a game where we try to invent the day's grossest-sounding word on NYT Spelling Bee,' Jennings wrote, with a screenshot.
But a transgender BlueSky user calling herself Gwen Pepperoni was soon on the attack.
She was seemingly outraged that Jennings would admit to subscribing to a publication known for its increasingly-balanced coverage on issues including puberty blockers for children and trans women in female sports.
'I wish people who care about trans people could understand that playing NYT games is an insult to trans people,' Pepperoni wrote.
The game show host sarcastically replied to the post, saying: 'This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes.
'I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.'
That triggered a firestorm of transgender fury directed at Jennings, with many outraged he had even dared to question a member of their community.
'The knee-jerk instinct of allies to publicly ridicule and deride the feelings of trans women who make them even momentarily uncomfortable deserves examination,'
'The condescension dripping off of this is maddening.'
One user went as far as comparing Jennings' remark to someone giving themselves a pass to use the n-word.
'I'm consistently never disappointed but never surprised when a cis man turns out to not actually give a s*** about anyone except himself.'

” playing NYT games is an insult to trans people,’”
but calling yourself Gwen Pepperoni isn’t.
Btw, ‘trans people’ are actually an insult to men and women. There is no ‘trans’ there is only wardrobe, and cutting up ones body or taking chemicals to mess up the mind and hormonal balances.
Yup. Lunatics running the asylum.

Ken Jennings has his own history of being part of the liberal online lynch mob. He hates Trump and was quick to post Woke tweets, at least before he became Jeopardy host. Karma is a b__tch, isn't it Ken?

Here's an idea/solution to the 'Trans problem':
Rename the Phoenix Islands "Transylvania", gift them to the trans community and break all USA claims or responsibility for them.
Then deport all trannies to Howland and Baker Islands. 'males' on one, 'females' on the other. Revoke their US citizenship and let nature take it's course.
