I was a fan of hers for a long time. Her video on trans research hit me the wrong way, but I kept watching until she started attacking anyone who disagreed with her. There was one video in particular where she really doubled down on anti-science which was the last video I watched, but I’m not going to find it.
Her whole “I’m a scientist, and I think the scientific establishment can’t be trusted” vibe that she has now really disgusts me. But I get why it is popular.
If you want a deep dive into the shady stuff she’s a part of, you can check this out. It made some things make more sense to me.
Are you currently a fan? I want to know some context before starting a conversation.
I used to watch her when she did science education, and stopped watching when she moved into ragebait.
Yea I like her stuff, I’m a casual watcher though.
If she’s a POS I’ll change my mind on her, but I haven’t seen anything that makes her transphobic as some has called her

Thanks, I’ll check it out
What do you consider “anti-science?”
The link does a good job of illustrating the line between fraud and science.
