by Whip-o-will, 3 months agoFantastic and reliable. Been using it for years and I've never accounted a mislabelled red name.
The dropping ratings are because some people are very upset that it flags transphobic (particularly transmisogynistic) transgender people as transphobic. If you are a huge fan of men's rights activism and using the phrase "AFAB trans woman" I suppose you won't like this add-on very much.
I do think there's an actual problem with this add-on, and that's its friendly flagging. I constantly see green highlights on the accounts of random trans people who don't even talk about being trans that much, and more importantly on outwardly transphobic or otherwise bigoted (e.g. racist, antisemitic) accounts. I think the friendly flagging system needs review and better filtering. I've come to completely disregard it.
Despite that, the unfriendly flagging is consistent and incredibly thorough. I need to reiterate that in all my years of using this add-on I've never encountered an unfriendly misflag.

- Rated 4 out of 5by elephystry, a day agoI am one of two people I know who have marked literally hundreds of people on my other computer, going through anti-trans or trans-friendly facebook posts' react lists and comment sections. I'm on a different computer and basically none of the markings I made are showing up, which leads me to believe that there is moderation, and they have ignored my contributions. I am disappointed to find this out. I will admit some of them were unfair and made in the heat of the moment but most of them are helpful and should be applied. hopefully I will be able to transfer them over so at least *I* know I've done something good, but even if not it's still a useful tool. I have no idea what the one-star reviews are talking about, I guess I wasn't there. It is crucially important to note that some people who appear trans-friendly on the surface are pretending and are actually not, and that's why they're marked red.
- Rated 1 out of 5by deadeyejay, a day agoUsed to be good but recently seems to be poorly moderated, I have seen people who are blatantly trans friendly from one look at their profile marked as red for no reason? Who is approving this? If I can tell a person is trans friendly then a moderator whose job it is to do this definitely can. And if I am doing your job for you and better than you, then I may as well not be using your services.
Hopefully these instances are just a mistake or a dip in quality of moderation which is fixable, but from looking at other reviews it seems to be related to some discourse? Sorry are we in primary school? I do not partake in or follow online queer discourse could you imagine. But to self-sabotage and ruin a good reputation of something marginalised groups rely on as a lifeline in an often volatile and uncertain online sphere, over something as arbitrary as online discourse of all things is beyond petty and childish, it is dangerous and spreading misinformation.
Keep your discourse to reddit ot twitter or whatever people who argue on the internet use, and away from tools that actual adults use to keep themselves safe online. If you cannot moderate your own add-on properly and maturely, then don't bother keeping it up at all because something that is based on trust, fairness and common sense is rendered useless if you cannot be any of those things. Or better yet find someone who can be those things instead. I'm not saying this should be gone, I'm saying it needs someone who will moderate it properly or it may as well be gone. or a better alternative developed.
Not gonna bother using this anymore unless this addressed/fixed, as a queer person I know how to navigate the internet with my own senses and will happily do it again. But persecuted groups are relying on you and you are letting them down and contributing to already rampant harmful misinformation about them, which is the unforgivable part for me. And for what. Fix or I will drop and I hope others do too. Queer people deserve way better than this and way better than you who sells them out over internet drama apparently, along with your own integrity. Sad for queer people and embarrassing for you. Grow up and sort it out. - Rated 1 out of 5by misc, 3 days agoI've seen a lot of transphobic people be marked as green, and a lot of trans friendly people as red. My breaking point was a TERF being marked as green. She had 'anti-xy' in her bio. Everytime you see someone marked with this add-on, you have to check just to make sure, and at that point, why bother...

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bonnie ♡, 5 days agoI have seen accounts that wish death, rape and forceful impregnation upon transmascs for the sole crime of discussing our oppression meanwhile intersex people are marked red for pointing out the rampant intersexism in the community.
- Rated 1 out of 5by qyuryyus, 6 days agohonestly spam at this point. doesn't do as advertised. highlights trans and intersex people as transphobic.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nora Jae, 8 days agogenuinely stopped functioning, multiple extremely wholesome creators scarlet lettered. :( why? I've used this for 4 years, time to move on ig.
- Rated 1 out of 5by The Stranger, 8 days agoThis is the third time this month that I've encountered a pro-trans intersex user on Tumblr marked in red for the mere "crime" of being intersex. Furthermore, I have seen upwards of ten trans masculine people marked in red for, again, just being trans masculine. This is not the extension it claims to be. It is not pro-trans. It seeks to divide the queer community, which makes us all weaker. Removed & purged from all of my devices.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lauren, 12 days agoUtter garbage. Use your own judgment instead of subscribing to an anonymous Tumblr user's lists of who you're allowed to talk to.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17051423, 13 days agoThe TERFS running this app now mark all truly trans-friendly content as red because they openly hate trans men and intersex people. NO TERFS IN OUR COMMUNITIES
- Rated 1 out of 5by NT, 14 days agoVery dissapointed in the direction this app has gone recently. What used to be an extremely useful tool for queer and trans folks has been completely sullied with bigoted mislabeling; there is no longer any way to guarantee that someone marked red is truly unsafe or just a queer person that is unpalatable to the people that run this app. Intersexism has no place in the queer community, and will not be tolerated. Truly disheartening to watch this once-great extension turn into a tool for harassment.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nova, 16 days agoThis tool has been overwhelmingly used to aid in harassment of trans and queer people, rather than avoid it. This has become the antithesis of what it should have been and what its stated intent is.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Juno, 17 days agoDO NOT USE ANYMORE!!! i used to love this extension but it has been absolutely Poisoned with anti-intersex and anti-transmasculine views, its better to abandon this and wait for an alternative than be fed absolute lies and slander. shame on the creator for ruining what was once a really helpful thing :/
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18106334, 17 days agoNow has begun marking some trans people and particularly nonbinary and/or intersex people as red for talking about their experiences, which the developer has attempted to defend numerous times.
- Rated 2 out of 5by fairywrenss, 18 days agoUsed to be an incredibly useful tool, these days someone marked red is just as likely to be intersex or nonbinary as an actual transphobe or TERF. Still functions okay-ish, but needing the level of attention it does defeats the point somewhat.
- Rated 1 out of 5by HuntingCosmos, 20 days agoI've used this for years and unfortunately, as of late, a lot more transgender people themselves with no transphobia I can see on their page are being flagged red and are unable to be switched back. While this used to be very useful, it's turned into another in-community discourse tool as opposed to something that actively helps people be safe at a glance.

- Rated 1 out of 5by mushcharlie, 23 days agoFalsely claims to be pro-transgender when the developer themselves has spouted anti-trans rhetoric. Also flags pro-trans folk describing their experiences as "transphobic" and actual transphobes as "pro-trans." The entire premise of the extension was to FLAG transphobia, now that has entirely changed. Do better.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Jazz, 25 days agoI've been seeing a lot of trans-friendly people falsely marked as anti-trans, just as everyone else has. It's really sad, but you'll just have to double check your sources before immediately jumping to conclusions when you see the red tag on someone.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18307599, a month agoThe dev is trying to sow divide in LGBT circles by marking transmasc and intersex people as inherently transphobic
- Rated 1 out of 5by Angel, a month agoonce an incredible addon, now there has been a boom in anti-nonbinary, anti-xenogender, transmed, anti-transmasc, anti-intersex, and terfs being marked as green. on top of it all, the dev has publicly spouted anti-intersex rhetoric. what happened?
