used to be a very useful addon, now is just a biased bigotted mess

i remember when using slurs was considered to be transphobic. the current problems are By Design, and have been for a while.

this is a disgustingly sexist terf extension downright lying about being community-friendly. i wouldnt be surprised if it came out in a few years it was a psyop to sow division within the community. this is the material effect it has -- i cant wrap my head around the intent.

the double standard and pattern of the terms on the rules page is, bad, to say the least.

1 star reviews now outnumber 5 star ones.

ill avoid making comments towards the creator, because anything i may say would get this review flagged -- i find the extension itself deserving of a red flag using its original, more fair ethos. the current rules page makes my blood boil.
as note (important): trying to find any further info on the current maintainer, etc, anything/anyone to contact further leads to a lot of bad/weird/harmful misinfo! this is separate and only towards the practice of the extension. there is no minority where it is suddenly appropriate to use hate speech.
i was the first person to open an issue on the gh about this -- so i guess ill stack on to the 1 star reviews, if this helps anyone. i really hope this problem can be fixed because of the large size of the userbase (this extension is even in papers!), so it's sad to see this change.

and -- as an important note -- based off some of the dev responses to reviews -- afab transfem is for intersex people. agab terminology is for intersex people, and appropriating it to exclude intersex experiences is, needless to say, Bad. and its also not trans friendly, because it explicitly, and i cannot stress this enough, excludes a specific Kind of trans person (in a way that is bioessentialist! there's nothing noted about amab transmascs is there? and if there was -- i'd be complaining about that too!).
to specifically flag and exclude afab transfems from the community would be to say that the only trans people who matter are perisex. to only highlight specific hate terms against non-binary and perisex transmasculine people as being ok to use would be to imply that the only community experiences that matter are those of transfems -- and that the only people trans enough to deserve protecting -- are transfem.
anything less than "all trans people" (by demographic) is transphobic. i dont know why we cant spotlight the struggles and oppression against one group without specifically putting down and excluding another group. it speaks poorly of transmisogyny as a concept to use it as a bludgeoning tool to silence more vulnerable members of the community, even those who are transfem. im tired.

usually super useful but ive been seeing a weird amount of people flagged as red that have nothing transphobic on their accounts (a lot of them trans themselves and not the reactionary conservative types either) recently. i don't know if they turned over verification to AI but maybe the system needs to be revised because it's really affecting how much i can trust the extension.

used to be a decent tool, now the moderation team seem to have lost it and are marking innocent people -- especially intersex folk, transmen, trans poc and others -- as transphobic. the moderators are discriminatory and are tearing the community apart; don't trust this extension anymore

I used to trust this addon but the recent changes have rendered its point moot. Back to individual manual filtering we go.

Used to love this but then they started marking innocent people for sharing their intersex experiences

A few days ago I uninstalled this extension, and yesterday it suddenly was installed again. And now it says I can't uninstall it. (There are ways to do it, but I can't do it from the extensions settings page like usual). I liked what this addon offered origianally, but it has lost the thread and I will not support their current efforts. Now I have to go figure out how to pull this out of my browser.

I got this extension to identify TERFs, not trans people with heterodox opinions on whether trans men count as oppressed or not. I'm only even keeping it so I can remove these false flags, but I don't recommend anyone download it for any other purpose.

used to be decent, now people i personally know who are trans themselves are getting flagged for talking about intersex issues and transmasc folk. biased developers

why are trans men and poc trans people flagged red over talking about their own experiences? why are intersex people flagged red for talking about their experiences?
i thought this addon was supposed to help trans people protect themselves from transphobes but it really is being used to protect only white trans women's and their fragile egos

time to go back to ye olden times (or what everyone who doesn't use their pc for social media does anyways)

I'm blocking more people flagged in green who are actually being transphobic than ones in red, and somehow notable transphobes such as Elon Musk are never flagged red. What a sorry joke of an extension is this? Good riddance.

Someone really oughta make an alternative that isn't targeting intersex people and trans men, cool concept, horrible creator and/or moderators

for those unaware, theres been a lot of intracommunity discourse about transmascs, and an attempt to find words to describe our unique experience with transphobia. a certain subset of the trans community has taken to calling every attempt to do so transmisogyny, and it appears the mod team have taken that side too. many of the users marked green are outright hateful about transmen, using words like "zippertits", "birthday boy" and "theyfab" to demean us and other members of the community who agree with us. there are also now a bunch of users unfairly marked as red, despite not being transphobic at all, and only stating that transmascs can be as oppressed as transfems. i have also heard of intersex people being unfairly marked, but i do not feel well read enough to fully get into that. overall its a huge shame this has been allowed to happen.

the moderation team has completely lost their scruples when it comes to who counts as "transphobic" or not, often marking intersex people and their advocates, trans men who speak about their experiences with transphobia, trans people of colors, and non-dysphoric trans people as "transphobic" for no reason other than to be aligned with the "right" side of extremely online discourse that has no place in the real world.

This app specifically says it is intended to help the transgender community. Things have recently changed where it now has chosen to exclude members of that community.

Trying to hold trans-femininity as the sole beacon to guide this project has hurt and left behind most of those it claimed to help, many of those who helped this tool grow.

If this app chooses to hurt all other genders for simply not worshiping the feminine, is it any better than a TERF tool? A group of transphobes who already villainize anything remotely masculine or non-feminine?

The transgender community, and more importantly the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, needs to accept that we may not all have the same personal definitions of gender, and that's okay. There will never be blanket terms to cover every nuance, we cannot limit ourselves, and we should never try to force others to exist within strict boxes or binaries.

Someone venting about their lived experience is not an attack on yours. It is petty and childish when you refuse to listen to your community and outright shun some groups like intersex individuals.

This add-on used to be one that brought us together, to help see others as part of a found family. If the future of it is now simply to be a club and to harm the reputation of others simply to only give oneself more attention, consider starting a vitriolic rant youtube channel instead.

Currently this app has been corrupted by transphobia. Yes, transgender people can be transphobic, especially when you choose to align your identity with exclusionary rhetoric and spout the same bioessentialism as TERFs and other bigots.

You really disappoint many of us, and should be doing better.

used to be helpful, has now devolved into punishing intersex activists for talking about their experiences. would be useful with more rigorous moderation that didn’t encourage infighting

Horrible. Flags any feminist content/blogs who post feminist content as transphobic. A modern day bizarre witch hunt. Also just a way for users to report people they don't like for arbitrary reasons. Useless and unhelpful.
