This addon used to be my go-to recommendation for trans people online. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.

The moderators of the extension are not very well educated on trans issues. Any advocacy for intersex trans people, trans men, etc risks getting you flagged. Trans activists should not be marked red for advocating for their identity.

We need intersectionality more than ever, but this addon is trying to break us apart. Whether this is incompetence by the moderators or intentional division is unclear.

Edit: The developer response proves my point more succinctly than I could. Intersex people advocating for their rights is not "appropriating language". Please google intersectionality.

Not only is this extension being used to target intersex and some trans activists, but the developer has been making incredibly intersexist responses to reviews. Policing the labels that intersex people use to describe themselves is completely unacceptable and absolutely shameful from someone claiming to want to create a safer online space for all trans people. Using a label for yourself that fits your experience does not "force" anyone to label themself a certain way, as the developer says. The developer has also likened intersex activists to TERFs because of labels they are using FOR THEMSELVES to describe their personal experience. I am uninstalling this add-on and will be advising friends to do the same. I only hope the developer reads this and decides to educate themself on intersex issues and how their actions have harmed an already oppressed community.

Used to be decent. But while the developers claim to support intersex people they are ignorant and bigoted and have not educated themselves.

I read the developers responses to some recent poor reviews and wanted to respond. the existence of afab transfems does not force any trans person to use their agab. Using amab or afab is a personal choice. No one is owned someone's assigned gender. It literally feels like a lame excuse to mark intersex queers as anti trans.

People who have not been marked red before are being marked red when they post about intersex and transmasc issues. The responses to other comments aren't actually explaining whats happening proving the creator doesn't actually care about it.

Extension is prone to misuse and has started marking trans friendly users and transphobic which makes this extension basically useless to its purpose.

Incredibly transphobic extension, does not work as described.

Was never one to take SE at face value without looking into someone myself but its clear at this point the extension can not be trusted. Its blatantly being misused and the people running it are actively harmful to the community they claim to protect. Several openly transphobic and intersexist positions have been championed by them and I can no longer support this app in any capacity, as a trans woman.

Unfortunately has become completely useless do to intersexist and transmasc-exclusionary moderation. None of us are free til ALL of us are free.

This was good right up until the creators decided that they don't want to understand intersectional feminism, which is deeply disappointing to see. Come /on/.

I really like the idea the extension is going for and it's helped a ton in blocking hundreds of your garden variety TERFs without needing to scroll their profiles for long, but I wouldn't rely on it. There's trans-friendly profiles marked red and mass-blocked because someone just has it out for them, and profiles marked green but every other post of theirs is insulting (or worse) any trans person they dislike. I'd just be careful and glance at people's accounts first before hitting the block or follow button.

this was pretty good a while ago but now people get marked red for talking about issues affecting transmasc and intersex folks. also seen a lot of green names being hateful towards transmasc, intersex, and nonbinary people. at this point the extension is mostly just useful for identifying people who talk about gender sometimes

Claims to highlight the difference between transphobic and trans-friendly social pages, fails to do much more than mark people who are vocal about trans issues. Consistently falsely marks trans and intersex people as transphobic for discussing their existences. Feeds into intracommunity divides and has lost any use it has. Only bother to use this extension if you care about whose vocal on trans issues AND you want to do the leg work for yourself to see if they're actually transphobic or not.

This extension has become so useless. People will be marked red for speaking about intersex and transmasc issues while green users will spout the most transphobic shit possible.

uninclusive and hateful moderators. many examples of people being marked red or green for things blatantly against the spirit of the extension and these markings being approved.

This extension has become a tool for transphobia, intersexism, and exorsexism and can no longer be used to accurately determine who is transphobic and who is not. I've seen people marked green who have said some of the most transphobic stuff about other trans people, and people marked red for simply being intersex or speaking about their own experiences.
I've scrolled through the reviews recently and seen some of the developer feedback which only cements the fact that this is not a useful extension. A slur invented by cis people is still a slur no matter how it's used, and is not on par with things like "binary trans woman". And the complete lack of understanding of intersex identities with regards to "afab transfems" is just honestly disgusting. The developers of this extension are clearly trying to be the arbiters of what is and isn't allowed in the trans community and that is never a good thing.
Don't trust this extension, it's a waste of your time: you're better off vetting people the old fashioned way, which is what many people who have used the extension have had to do for years now.
This is no longer used as a tool to help the trans community but rather divide it.

Edit: a recent 5-star review: "thank god the devs are finally cracking down on transandrophobia truthers. it's time we finally kick misogynistic trans men out of the trans community for good."
These are the types of people that are abusing this extension and the types of people the dev's values are in line with. These people do not want other trans people different than them who talk about their own experiences in terms they don't like, to be in community with them. This is the type of transphobic vitriol this extension enables, and it needs to stop.
Don't use it, and instead make your own informed decisions about who you wish to block or interact with.

"... 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.
