"... The dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor" - Paulo Freire

Used to be a useful add-on but the developers have fallen into inter-community discourse and shown themselves to harbor intersexist and anti-transmasc sentiments. This includes but is in no way limited to: not seeing using use of "theyfabs" (a term to mock afab nonbinary people) as transphobic, labeling intersex users as transphobic for speaking out against intersexism, and generally denying that afab trans people can face targeted harassment.

Post-script: yeah no looks like the dev only cares about transphobia that harms trans women and is intersexist as well.

i would rate this extension at zero stars if i could. i've seen so many trans queer people marked red on here that it's just unreliable and useless. everytime i see a name marked as being transphobic i have to go check their blog because half the time it's just a trans man or intersex person talking about stuff they experience. not even mentioning trans women or misogyny! and those that do don't discredit it, because YES it is a real issue!

i'm not ignorant, so i don't deny that transmisogyny is a real issue, but claiming its the only "serious" form of transphobia is dishonest. trans men and intersex people are killed and assaulted too. NONE OF US deserve that.

i'm sick of having my experiences mocked and being called transphobic for experiencing transphobia or even implying that other trans men or intersex folk experience transphobia too. instead of creating a helpful tool to help queer people stay safe online, you've created a tool that only spreads division and hate between transfems, transmascs, and intersex people of any gender.

even putting trans-ness aside. women aren't inherently any better than men. we are all equal human beings and the transandrophobia debate you continue to perpetuate only benefits conservatives and people who want all of us forcibly detransitioned or exterminated. trans men deserve love. trans women deserve love. people of all agabs and identities deserve love. and we ALL deserve language to talk about the hardships we experience.

stop downplaying people's struggles. division is not the answer. love each other while you still can. it's our only hope for a brighter future 🏳️‍⚧️💙

Extremely disappointed with the team for marking trans men and intersex people as transphobic for talking about their struggles with transphobia and/or intersexism. It's also quite hurtful to see the official website pushing the term "theyfab" as not all that harmful as though it has ever been anything other than a slur made to mock feminine nonbinary people. I expected better from an extension meant to help trans people stay safe online.

The actions of denying language and ability to form community speak louder than any claims of welcomeness. No one is forcing anyone to use language besides the owner forcing others. I used to use this for years, started when it first became a chrome extension, but it has become completely unreliable more recently

I have been using this for several years now, it's been incredibly useful. It's also nice having a resource made by trans women who take transmisogyny seriously. I've found that to be a rare thing and increasingly more uncommon. Thank you for your service.

Intersex transfems who are AFAB do not literally call themselves AFAB transfems in their bios, but they do sometimes talk about their transition, and not allowing them to do so & calling them terfs for existing is intersexist. Intersex people's bodies do not align with the male/female binary. That's literally the point of the word intersex. Someone AFAB could have a body that has more male traits than female traits (for lack of better wording), within the intersex community we sometimes use CTF (close to F) or CTM (close to M) to describe our bodies. Every intersex transfem AFAB I have met has described herself as being CTM and is transitioning in a very similar way to your typical transfem. Some intersex AFAB people are literally reassigned male during childhood, often at puberty. It isn't transphobic for their voices to be heard. This all goes for cistrans/transcis intersex people, transfemmasc intersex people, exparium intersex people, or whatever else intersex identity exclusionists have decided is a "troll identity,,

And these people existing doesn't force you to call yourself AMAB. In fact, the intersex community generally avoids AGAB terminology because it's been made reductive and useless by perisex people who think it means anything related to biology. It isn't us who put so much emphasis on AGAB to the point people feel pressured to disclose it when talking about our identity. That's your (perisex people generally I mean) fault.

I won't deny that TERFs have co-opted the intersex experience of transfeminine people AFAB. I've seen it. Alongside 'biotrans' (which is actually just TERF shit and not co-opted from any actual real community.) You all fail to recognize that refusing to acknowledge TERF co-opting of intersex issues is just as intersexist as it is for the TERFs to co-opt our issues in the first place. Stop throwing us under the bus and stop letting horrible bigots speak over us and use us against other marginalized people.

It is and has always been accurate.

this extension has become increasingly hostile to transmascs and intersex people speaking out about their problems, falsely marking them as anti-trans. The developers repeatedly respond to any critique of this behavior with a canned response that ignores the problem and denies responsibility for their moderation of the extension to such a severe degree that it has made me go from believing there was some mistake to believing that it's the result of deliberate malice.

This extension used to be vital to navigating social media for TERFs, alt-right groups, etc. but now accounts that are inclusive of marginalized identities, that highlight discrimination faced by trans men, that are run by intersex individuals, etc. are being marked red while accounts discriminating against trans people but apparently not in a "serious enough" way (using "theyfab," ie deciding nonbinary individuals aren't trans enough) won't be marked red.

Using the latter issue as an example, it's disheartening, disappointing, and genuinely dangerous to have someone marked as green/pro-trans while allowing them to discriminate against nonbinary identities--marking an account as a safe entity or space for me to interact with as they are actively discriminating against my own identity.

And this--allowing accounts spouting harmful, exclusionary, discriminatory rhetoric to continue to be marked as green or neutral--in conjunction with marking people encouraging inclusivity and understanding, those oftentimes speaking about their own identities and experiences, as red has rendered the extension not only useless but antithetical to its original purpose.

This add-on isn't useful for any trans people that aren't perisex transwomen. And actively allows trans people who aren't perisex transwomen to be marked as transphobic for just discussing our own specific forms of oppression.

Also, people can remain marked green even if they are actively bigoted towards trans people who aren't perisex transwomen or racist towards trans people of color.

Therefore it's not terribly useful if you want to know who's safe or not if yer trans but not the intended demographic of perisex transwoman.

Also, the developers' responses towards people pointing these problems out is a very good tell that they're actively bigoted as well and do not give a shit about any trans people that arent just perisex transwomen.

* Edit: The developers literally are so fucking intersexist they are calling basically every intersex person who uses terms that describe their experiences with terminology fit for them to be TERFs.

Don't use this extension if you aren't a perisex trans woman, it's modded by bigots who are actively intersexist and transphobic towards all other trans people.

Not actually doing its job properly in marking transphobic persons as red and trans friendly persons as green anymore. Posting the same canned response to reviews discussing this issue is not helpful.

I love shinigami eyes, but the abuse of it to mislabel transmasculine people and intersex activists as anti trans is disgusting.

While I find that Shinigami Eyes is helpful at a glance, this extension is prone to misuse. Sometimes, the mods for this addon mark very much trans-friendly spaces as unfriendly due to this extension's users occasionally dog-piling users that they have an axe to grind against. I have also noticed an epidemic of alt-right (and VERY anti-trans creators) be marked as green by mods, and that's quite worrying. The main way I see this getting better would be requiring a comment box for Shinigami Eyes's users to articulate why this user/source is trans-friendly or the opposite. This would allow the mods for this extension to have more data rather than just X number of marks.

Used to be great, until I discovered people who talk positively about intersexism get flagged as 'anti-trans'. How many intersex people/allies have I scrolled past or blocked because shinigami eyes marked them 'anti-trans'? To silence a minority that REALLY needs everyone's support is disgusting. Intersex identities aren't 'transphobia', silencing people who choose their own labels is.

I've used this extension for many years, so it makes me feel sad to have to report that it is no longer trans-friendly. The developers have loudly proclaimed that talking about anti-transmasculine oppression, and intersex identities (such as AFAB transfems) is a good reason to be marked red.

This extension now embraces exclusionism, and talking about intersectionality is enough to get you marked red, even if you are a trans person who is actively fighting transphobia.

The issue of keeping transgender individuals online safe from those who want us dead / will doxx us should be a bigger concern than trying to alienate trans+ people you don't like.

Edit: Fellas, is it aligning my goals with that of TERFs (a group of people who want me dead) to be an intersex transfem?

transandrophobia and theres been a lot of false positives lately that cant be changed back to green for some reason

man, this thing was in a slow decline for a while, but now it has taken a HARD fall. i genuinely feel embarrassed for trying to keep saying how it is still useful and good when then i see the dev(s) here shut their ears and go "LALALALA" to any and all feedback. truly truly embarrassing.

The guidelines for this extension literally say that a slur targeted at trans people is "not enough" to mark as anti-trans.
The developers have as of recently been exploiting this extension's purpose to mark subsets of the trans community they personally don't like by flagging them as anti-trans while a lot of pro-trans tagged accounts can say highly bigoted things about other groups of trans people such as trans men and non-binary people.
This is no longer an actual add-on to help trans people online but a way for transphobes to pretend they are trans-friendly while harassing trans people

edit: this developer reply is not only using rhethoric to attack non-binary people baselessly by mentioning "binary trans woman" is used against women who transition (usually transphobes wouldn't be in favor of non-binary people either so i dont understand why the claim of "long been used" was even attempted) but also avoiding the clear slur criticism by saying "controversial terms" instead
As a trans woman these kind of attempts to come up with false reasons to muster community in-fighting by falsely tagging non-binary and trans masc people as transphobic while allowing the use of slurs against those identities (like "theyfab") does nothing but make me feel unsafe about the extension if it is being misused in this way to slander and enable harassment of my fellow members of the community

Not trustworthy. Have witnessed many, MANY intersex and non-binary blogs and accounts online be marked red for [checks notes] approaching identities with nuance because the binaries people have constructed don't fit them. Despite enbyphobia being a listed reason to mark someone as transphobic. Meanwhile, many accounts are marked as trans-safe despite literally using transphobic slurs. What happened to, "don't assume someone isn't transphobic because they're trans?" Do not recommend- use your own judgment, it'll be better than whatever these people decide is "transphobic enough."
