by Poppy, a month agoShinigami Eyes was a great idea and I've enjoyed it for many years. However, I think a new dev team has taken over (or the values of the dev team have changed drastically), as they've now taken it upon themselves to highlight trans people they don't like, including intersex activists, kids using odd labels/neopronouns, transmascs and transfems of color who discuss their unique experiences with transphobia, and transfems who are genderfluid or use he/him pronouns - in short, any trans person who's "cringe" or uses the "wrong" language.
Shinigami Eyes was invented to highlight dangerous transphobes, like TERFs and alt-righters, and it's really disappointing to see it misused to destroy trans solidarity. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe members of my own community are a danger in need of ostracism, just because they say things I don't like.
The dev team needs to get their shit together and stop splitting up our community. Especially in this time, where we need solidarity more than ever.
Edit, since I can't respond directly to the developer's response: Since when are we letting TERFs dictate our language? No one is forcing trans women to do anything. If you let yourself be pushed around by TERFs, and letting TERFs force you to disclose your assigned gender, that is your own problem. You don't have to define yourself by your assigned gender, just because other people do.

Just don't use "AFAB trans woman", as it forces trans women to use "AMAB" or "male", aligning your goal with that of TERFs.
