It used to be that you would be able to know if a newly discovered youtube channel has been transphobic in the past, or a creator you've only heard of in passing be marked as trans friendly or safe. It used to be a huge benefit and helped me navigate the internet for -years-.
I started questioning it a little while ago and I noticed trans men getting marked. I started noticing posts on antiblackness in the trans community where op was marked in red. There was recently a massive upswing in intersex users being targeted as well, for pointing out outrageous intersexism in the queer community as a whole. They added -in the guidelines- for submitting users that using the transphobic slur theyfab is not enough to be marked red. Notably, this was also when discourse picked up on multiple websites where people were trying to claim trans men and mascs are hiding behind "being afab", and were peddling recycled transmedical/bioessentialist rhetoric that was common back in like 2014.
I've started seeing trans women marked as transphobic for standing against racism in regards towards trans men/mascs of color (notably black and indigenous MOC), transphobic behavior towards all trans men/mascs, intersexism, and exorsexism.
Shinigami Eyes isn't safe anymore. Who knows if its always been safe, even. They cherry pick who gets chosen as good and whos bad. I figured they always had peoples best interests at heart, but considering how abysmally racist, intersexist, and transphobic it is towards trans men and mascs now? I don't even know. Without transparency in why users are marked as transphobic there's no way in hell anyone should trust it. No source behind anything.
