Needs serious moderation.

I've been routinely seeing folks who espouse transphobic, exorsexist, and intersexist stuff be marked as trans-friendly solely because they themselves are trans, meanwhile, intersex activists and trans POC are marked as transphobic??

99% of the markings also feel solely fueled by whether or not one personally dislikes the person they're marking. I think this could be improved with a requirement to add *why* someone is being marked red or green, but right now, the extension is useless and only being used for infighting.

Incredibly disheartening to see that this extension is being used as a bludgeoning tool against trans men and intersex people. Even if this was solely a small online discourse it is wildly inappropriate to be marking trans activists as transphobic because you disagree on their nuance on what type of transphobia is "valid".

This used to be a useful extension but now the devs have begun to mark trans men, nonbinary people, and intersex people who discuss their issues and rights as red. I've also heard instances of trans/nonbinary POC who've called out racism within the queer community being flagged as well. Very disappointing to see an extension that once offered some safety start aiding transphobia, exorsexism, intersexism, and racism.

im very disappointed that this extension started marking intersex people and people who show support for them as red.

good extension for basic terf spotting but is often misused for targeting queer people who others don't like.

I can't in good consciousness rate this extension 1 star, because it genuinely has been useful to me in the past. However, I've been seeing more and more trans friendly accounts unmarked or even marked red simply for uplifting transmasc, nonbinary, and intersex voices. It would be one thing if this were simply a case of the 'phobes abusing the community mark feature i would be less concerned, but the developers have responded to similar reviews to mine to comfirm that this is the system working as intended, and that many of these false marks were manually placed by the moderation team. This is frankly unacceptable in any application that calls itself progressive, let alone something that has, in the past, been as useful to online safety as Shinigami Eyes.

I'm leaving a two star rating for these reasons. I will continue recommending this extension, but only after a conversation about these drawbacks and how they only further the goals of the very people who make products like this necessary to a safe online experience. It is shameful to see you walk down this path, and I can only hope that eventually the devs and moderators will see the error in their ways and begin working, once again, towards a better world.

After some thought, ultimately the biggest flaw of this app is that it does not have any transparency. It's essentially a black box that reviews go into, but there's no information regarding any given tag -- what did this person do to get flagged red? Were they calling for the extermination of trans people, or were they misinformed and mildly bigoted? Why is this person flagged green? Are they active advocates for transgender safety, or did they say 'trans rights' one time and leave it at that?

The Internet is a big place, and it's very easy to follow the way the wind is blowing. I think the best use of this app is as a double checking tool, not as the be-all end-all, and what I would most like to see is a community notes feature to explain why any given person is marked red or green.

This extension isn't queer safe anymore, it toxic discourse now. Queer cannot be dicated through cis ideals, and we don't exist to conform to them. But being Intersex and Agender I expect this behavior this app has extended. A safe place for hateful trans people and undercover terfs.

Poor moderation with no transparency. Many intersex and transmasculine people of color are labeled red for talking about intersex human rights, culturally-specific gender experiences, and personal trans experiences that don't center or pedestal transfeminine experiences. Many people who habitually pedojacket, harass, crusade against, and rumormonger ("socially murder") about these same intersex and transmasc BIPOC (specifically using transphobic tactics and rhetoric) are marked green. It's difficult to take in good faith, defeating the purpose of the extension.

Intersex people using intersex-coined, intersex-focused labels and talking about intersex human rights is not a form of transmisogyny. People of color talking about our personal experiences with gender and how they vary with our native cultures is not "aligning our goal[s] with [those] of TERFs," and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the contradiction there with how overtly and frequently racist TERFs are. Asserting that marginalized people talking about our personal experiences is a form of bigotry actively hampers trans liberation. You cannot take transmisogyny seriously if you're putting transfems on pedestals (which is bad in general because transfems are a kind of human, not some special exception) at the expense of other vulnerable community members.

Recently started marking anyone who is advocating for intersex rights/awareness as well as trans men's as red.

Additionally devs are specifically targeting queer people of color who are calling out white trans people (specifically white trans woman) for racism and intersex people who are calling out the interphobia that's in the queer community.

Hit dogs hollar

I used to rely on this quite a bit, but I'm finding more and more that users are being incorrectly flagged as transphobic when they shouldn't be. This was a nice idea in theory, but its clear that either the devs aren't actually reading through what gets flagged, or they hold some pretty egregious exclusionary beliefs.

As a trans woman this is not useful anymore, an account having a red name doesn't necessarily mean they actually are transphobic, and it seems that the extension is being used to target intersex and trans-masc people

Do not use this extension. The devs manually flag people who acknowledge the issues trans men and intersex people have to face as red. absolutely disgusting.

someone i followed on tumblr was marked as red for committing the crime of.. believing trans men and intersex people should have their terms respected.

several trans people of colour are also marked as red for calling out white trans people as racist.

edit: after seeing the devs spamming the same response. yeah. fuck this extension. The devs are telling intersex people not to use the terms their own community made. If an intersex transwoman says shes afab, she isnt forcing an amab transwoman to identify herself as male. disgusting.

Stop throwing nonbinary, transmasc, and intersex people under the bus, and maybe you'll stop having so many people angry with you.

It used to be good. Now it's bad. Plenty of red marks are just black trans people calling out bullshit.

Used to be incredibly useful to help keep myself safe, but now is actively promoting weird exclusionist queer discourse by marking random trans and intersex users anti-trans for opinions the devs seemingly just don't agree with (intersex exclusive labels, stuff about transandrophobia, stuff that doesn't make someone anti-trans in any way really). This no longer helps keep me safe and actively goes against what its original goal was. A depressing turn of events considering the state of the world.

This add-on would be great if it didn't mark discussions of transadnrophobia and enbyphobia/exorsexism as transphobic. It also should ideally include intersex people and not mark intersex inclusive spaces, discussions of intersex issues and intersexism as transphobic. Intersex people can not only be trans too, they also fight for bodily autonomy and their bodies being able to exist without confroming to outdated gender roles. And multigender people or people with seemingly contradictory identities (like transmasc lesbians) should be included in the extention too and not marked as transphobic.

Aside from that it's a great extention that helps me filter our transphobia that could be trigerring for me.

So keep up the good work, but please look into above issues once you have time!

This used to be a fairly useful tool for highlighting who was a TERF on the internet. Now people are getting red-named for the crime of... thinking intersex and trans men deserve to have their own terms respected. Very disappointing.

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.
