It was when JK Rowling said that the Cass Review was a peer review itself and that's why it didn't need to be peer reviewed I realised she's an idiot.
Anyway, here's a peer review of Cass.
Guess what it finds?

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

Science magazine out here reporting on non-peer reviewed studies from known bullshitters, as "science" famously doesn't include peer review.
Can the new cutting-edge AI models feel pain? They at least behave as if they do, according to a recent study.
The work, which has not been peer reviewed, has divided #AI researchers. https://scim.ag/4hHU6BA

Why the fuck is AI involved in the *peer*-review process?
Researchers have been sneaking secret messages into their papers in an effort to trick AI tools into giving them a positive peer-review report

Don’t have to worry about peer review if you avoid the journals that would reject you during peer review
One way to spin the fact that you’re peddling pseudo-science is to declare that the United States will no longer have experts publish in medical journals.

Instead of scientific peer review, here comes political peer review
EPA has ordered scientists in its Office of Water to immediately pause almost all research & stop publishing studies. Researchers were told that, unless scientific journals had already returned proofs, studies will be subject to an additional EPA review.

Replacing peer review with "some coked up 19 year old libertarian" review does not strike me as a positive development. Imo.
Hearing now that every National Science Foundation grant is having to go through a new “DOGE review”. So existing grants and long term science and technology research having to undergo review by one of Elon’s interns. Huge percentage not passing their muster.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."
They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.
Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

Remember: Cass is not peer-reviewed - and is therefore not “gold”, silver, bronze or even recycled plastic standard.
IMO it’s just pseudoscience.
There are now at least five damming, peer-reviewed critiques of Cass; all automatically of a higher standard, with at least two more in peer-review.

if you need to "check everything" that an LLM spits out in peer review, aren't you just making MORE work for yourself? What is even happening, and why is adding more steps and labor somehow considered the "better" way to do peer review???
