Wanted to write a longer review but the character limit got me, so my main points are:

- Responding with "examine your behavior" and "intersex people are welcome so long as they don't align themselves with TERFs(which in this context means "correctly use a term intersex people came up with to explain their experiences and identities" and is not, in fact, actually aligning oneself with TERFs)" when people point out that your extension is being used to harm innocent marginalized people is unacceptable. Given how much of our lives are online and how much violence, harassment, and ostracization an anti-trans marking invites you absolutely need to have a real solution to people using SE as a weapon. If you can't come up with a solution then I mean this in all seriousness, you need to take this down until you can. I say this as a trans person, the pros in no way outweigh the cons, and it's WELL past time y'all did something about this.
- While SE is helpful in some cases(flagging celebrities, news sources, and other organizations) it has always been exploitable and thus if you do use it, see it as a suggestion, not as an inherently concrete or factual stamp of dis/approval, especially when it comes to individuals. Being able to think critically and understand ideologies and beliefs *on your own* is a vital skill to have. If you use SE you should investigate any people you see marked either way for yourself to decide if they are actually transphobic or not, because recognizing general transphobia as well as transphobia directed at trans women, trans men, nonbinary people, and how it changes based on race, as well as TERF/radfem rhetoric and dogwhistles and, critically, tell the difference between all that and legitimate language/theory used by trans and intersex people is something you should absolutely be able to do yourself if you want to be a good trans ally and forward the cause of trans liberation.
- It is really fucking weird of y'all to rightfully say that Pepe the Frog emotes/memes are alt-right dogwhistles and thus transphobic while claiming "theyfab" a slur made up by alt-right trolls on 4Chan to harm nonbinary people is "out of scope" like?? Make it make sense. Either all transphobia is bad or you don't think nonbinary people count as trans and so violence against them is fine, which is it.
- My faith in this extension continues to tank for ever person I see who is marked green despite having radfem in their bio and regularly interacting with actual self-identified TERFs. Radical feminism is always, ALWAYS transphobic and absolutely no one who claims to be a radfem should ever be marked as trans-friendly under any circumstances. It seems to a lot of the users of this extension that it's okay if blatant transphobia comes out of the right kind of trans person's mouth phrased the right way. And ofc I know this extension does require constant input to function, so I mark these people as red, but they stay green. The standard of what is considered transphobic by the people who use and maintain this extension is really strange, and I say that as someone who has been fighting radical feminism online for over 15 years. It's okay if someone is an open radfem, who spouts gender essentialist bs about the inherent evils of men and virtues of women so long as they include trans people in their nonsense, but intersex trans people trying to use a label they coined and nonbinary folks who would like to not be called slurs are treated like the problem?

This extension isn’t trustworthy atm and honestly even if it was working properly I would still say you should only use it if you're willing and able to vet people yourself. The path of queer and trans liberation is one you must be proactive in pursuing, blind trust, on the other hand, is oppression's favorite tool and it will get you absolutely nowhere.

It's not transphobic to talk about the issues of trans men or intersex people. The entire point of this extension is ruined. I remembered when I first installed it the rules were "please only mark people who are actively bigoted against trans people, not people who are out of touch or have different opinions" now you can literally get flagged for just being an intersex user, or god forbid, a trans man who talks about his experience with transphobia. This extension has been made entirely useless because trans people get marked red just for talking about their lived experiences, which is why I've uninstalled it.

Don't be mean nonbinary/trans-masc folks, you've changed the whole point of having this addon

Encouraging red-marking of intersex and nonbinary individuals serves only to divide and silence a large part of the community. Infighting is stupid, and you need to prohibit red marking for these cases.

It's depressing that so many transphobes, transmisogynists, and TERFs (note: these are not perfect synonyms!) have such large platforms that an add-on that at least forewarns you about them is so important, but at least it's fantastic at it.

To all the seething trans reviewers giving it 1 star: it's not enough to be trans yourself. You also have to not be transphobic to other trans people! Work on that and you won't need to be marked any more.

Don't shut down complaints about exclusion within the community by saying, don't share call-outs and don't participate in smear campaigns, don't take advice from "ex"-TERFs who adjusted their beliefs enough to permit their own transition but not enough to stop treating trans women as public enemy number one.

Sometimes useful, but sadly often gets abused to push a specific agenda that erases the suffering of trans men and intersex individuals. I'm not sure how much of that is the fault of the userbase and how much is the fault of the devs, but I'm real sick of seeing transphobic hate targeting trans men from people marked green, and pro-trans intersex people marked red.

Marking intersex (including trans intersex) users red is allowed. This addon enables perisexism. Also throwing us transmascs under the bus is doing what TERFs want. We should be allowed to talk about transmasc issues without being immediately shut down.

I am very disappointed that this has been twisted in such a way that it is used against the people it is supposed to protect.

Creator calls discussions of transmasc oppression and intersex trans identities transphobic and labels people who use perfectly valid language TERFs when the language directly benefits trans intersex people

I have long appreciated the extension for its work to create inclusive spaces for trans people, but this is clearly not your goal any longer. Calling people transphobes or terfs for talking about the transphobia that they themselves experience is ridiculous, and so is silencing intersex voices in the same way. You allow people to use words like “theyfab” or “tenderqueer” to blatantly make fun of non-binary identities, but trans men saying that they experience transphobia is enough to be marked red? Intersex people talking about their struggles is supposedly transphobic? Are y’all not ashamed?

Very useful addon when used correctly, however, more and more i'm seing ACTUAL TRANS PEOPLE MARKED AS ANTI-TRANS, probably reactionarily by TERFS / anti-trans /anti-intersex etc people who want to tank trans people's interactions & make other trans people fear them and cause more in-fighting.

Something needs to be done to ensure actual, very obviously, trans/intersex people are not marked red online.

Works as advertised, but noticing a concerning increase in abuse by users and mislabelling people as transphobic as a means of bad-faith argument. I would encourage both devs and users to reflect on what this extension was made to represent and achieve, rather than weaponising it.

You cannot rely on this extension (or anything like it, for that matter) to replace personal research and critical thinking.

The political biases of the creators with regards to who is part of the trans community, what is or is not transphobic, what language is or is not appropriate, etc. directly impact the TOS and intended purpose of this extension, so if your politics diverge at all (which they likely will, just because of how many stances there are to have), labels on accounts and pages may mislead you.

On top of this, users can and do falsely flag accounts as trans-friendly or transphobic (I've personally been marked friendly before for simply being part of a trans-positive group which is not what the label is meant to mean, but this feature can also easily be used maliciously), and high numbers of people using the extension results in false or misleading flags having a huge impact on the amount of engagement a user gets, which homogenises what LGBT+ talking points and perspectives get seen online.

Extensions such as this can be handy at times, but without attached explanation for why a user is marked the way they are, it acts less like an informative tool and more like a prosthetic gut instinct with someone else's biases baked into it instead of your own.

I'm personally removing this extension in response to a blog that should qualify for the trans-friendly label being irreversably marked as transphobic by the creators due to political disagreement, likely on the specifics of the relationship between the intersex and transgender communities. The blog owner does a lot of really important outreach and IRL community work, and has unique and important perspectives that a lot of people will no longer engage with because of the false label.

It was nice to have quick information to look to when something didn't quite sit right with me because I have a lot of trouble trusting my own instincts, but on further meditation I'm not OK with a tool like this deciding how I should feel for me.

If you do choose to install the extension, please consider its labels an invitation to inspect further and figure out why that label is there, instead of simply taking it as an objective marker of who is or is not safe. Nobody can judge what is or is not safe for you except yourself.

Was a good extension, and then it started to show a clear bias against those who talked about intersex and transmasc people. It's a shame that something that used to be a really good tool is used in such a negative way.. really sucks.

Loved this when it came out and was very usefull in identifying transphobes and terfs. now this extension is fundamentally useless as many trans people and intersex people are being flagged as "not trans friendly" based on arbitrary reasons such as discussing intersexism, and trans-masc struggles. this app is now only useful if you hate intersex people, and trans-mascs

"Appropriating women's language in a way that harms real women is not okay" y'all are so desperate to be TERF's

"appropriating language" says the community who stole and rebranded multiple intersex terms. Intersex individuals are not the ones appropriating

Fantastic 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.

sorry you have to deal with transmisogynists yelling at you about transmisandry
