I was so wrong and I stand so corrected that she doesn't get her peerage through an accident of sperm, she only gets her peerage by being appointed by those who derive political power from an accident of sperm.
As previously explained, there are life peers and hereditary peers - the House of Lords is constituted of both types...

The Commission has non-partisan members and non-peers as well as representatives from the House of Lords of the three largest political parties.
