She's spot on. "Peer reviewed" means nothing, especially with highly politicized issues like the gender nonbinary crap. All "peer reviewed" means is that a bunch of people who think exactly the same way as the originator of the study means just sign off on it.

Been going on for decades. I've seen stuff published that's in "Scientific" journals to be a total joke. Publishing gains notoriety for the school and person involved. A lot of big schools will hire TA's to basically teach the class while the prof publishes stuff. Notoriety translates into real dollars in terms of grant money, it's big business.

It's gotten so bad some based prof literally wrote satire pieces under the guise of "science", submitted them to be published, and they were! He kept doing this for a while. The "science" people had no idea they were even being punked until the prof later openly admitted it. Of course no changes were made to the system.

When I was in college "science" was basically some queer secular quasi religion just like in South Park. Many folks were crushed to find out science is often NOT objective, looks at all the evidence, goes where the evidence leads it, etc. Money, politics, and just plain ego play a huge role in it. Not always, I don't want to trash legit good scientists. But all too often scientific "consensus" has more to do with who is writing the checks and what their agenda is and less to do with actual science.
