What did she do?
She has growingly appeal to right wing / corporate rhetorics to attract viewers:

- https://timothynguyen.org/2025/08/21/physics-grifters-eric-weinstein-sabine-hossenfelder-and-a-crisis-of-credibility/
One of her more controversial take is that academia failed because it is "communism", and we should privatize science to let corperate and youtube viewers to decide who to fund instead of expert commitees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htb_n7ok9AU
I'm trying to figure out what she did that makes her transphobic
If you search about it you will find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR_RAp73ra0 She also talked about trans-athletes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ9YAFYIBOU
I have never watch it, and not planning to, so I cannot help you summarize it. Nor have I claimed that she is transphobe, so I don't feel the need to justify that stand.
If you choose to ignore everything else and focus on this one issue, then I have to admit I don't know much about it.
She's a turd
Why?
Kudos to you. Asking the question we all wanna know
So sad to see how far she's fallen
What did she do?
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
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.
What do you consider "anti-science?"
The link does a good job of illustrating the line between fraud and science.
Thanks, I'll check it out
