Rated 5 out of 5
by Ash the Yggdrasil, 5 days agoHello. I am transfeminine. I ask you read this review before continuing to read any others.
Many of the people rating this as "five stars" claim transmisogyny and "review bombing."
It is not review bombing. Most, if not all, of the one-star reviews are valid concerns and I have witness the things the one-star reviews are talking about with my own eyes. The people giving out one star reviews are not being transmisogynist. The fact that my own sisters in the trans community will claim such of people actually having grievances and struggles of their own appalls and disgusts me.
Most of the one-star reviews are discussing experiencing "transandrophobia," intersexism, and even racism at the hands of the developers of this extension. They speak of many people being completely, unfairly, and unjustly marked red, and I have seen this happening more and more often, and I find more and more people being marked green purely on the basis of being a trans woman.
This is actually a one-star review, but I wanted to put this here to challenge the people in the 5-star section having the disgusting gall to call our trans siblings "transmisogynist" for the mere fact that they are not trans women themselves.
And if one such reviewer is reading this...
Do better. I know you can.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19031274, a day agoactively used to mislabel transmasculine people who talk abt their experiences with transandrophobia, bigender folks and intersex activists as transphobic (this is encouraged by the creator), while many TERFs manage to get marked as safe.
- Rated 1 out of 5by threerings, a day agoUsed to be a very useful extension to avoid covert TERFs but now half of queer or genderqueer users are red. It's definitely been taken over by some people with an agenda to target "bad" trans and queer people. Uninstalling.
- A lot of the people complaining about false flags should try a vital first step: stop calling trans women TERFs. TERF doesn't mean "person I disagree with in trans discussions/online discourse". It means Radical feminists who don't want trans women to exist.
If you're calling trans women TERFs, you weren't false flagged. You are not safe for trans women. This extension marks users who are and aren't safe for trans women.
Maybe fix your hearts instead of leaving one star reviews. - I want to start this by saying this extension is really, really helpful. It has saved me from having to engage with TERFs and other bigots of the like numerous times, and works very well in that regard. I don't think it should be removed, but I do think better moderation would be useful. There are definitely some false-flagging issues, like some reviewers have mentioned. I am not an expert on what good moderation would entail, but some sort of thing where you need to actually give a reason for marking (both red and green) could be a decent start. And, overall, people have biases. Of course the markings are gonna maybe be a little false with moderation like this. Shinigami Eyes has a ton of potential, and is already really useful, it just needs some better moderation.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tumblr User, 2 days agoUsed to be really useful for finding out transphobes and terfs, now it's used to mark people who aren't binary trans women red for things like "being inclusive" or "speaking about their intersex experience" or even "not wanting to be called a slur"
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19028664, 2 days agomarks intersex people, regardless of posts, as transphobic. the second youre openly intersex you're marked red.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Riot, 3 days agoThe latest database update marks every trans and queer person red, who isn't a binary trans women. Everyone from nonbinary people to neopronoun users to intersex people and transmasc people speaking about anything other than trans women's struggle is marked red.
If the maker of this extension still follows the project: It's time to delete this extension! It has completly been hijacked by TERFs and bigoted infighting and gives no actual indiacation of trans friendlyness anymore. The only thing I see people use this for anymore is harrass each other, either but false flagging or bullying people for their falsely flagged status. This thing is no longer a tool for trans safety, but for trans infighting and targeted harrassement. - Rated 1 out of 5by Am, 3 days agoThe creators of this extension claim it was made to fight transmisogyny, but flag trans WOC when they call out racism and transmisogynoir in the community.
Additionally, those who discuss intersexism or exorsexism are also often needlessly flagged as red, including several intersex transfems I've been following for years.
One look at the social media of the creators shows that they only support a very, very limited portion of the trans community, and are actively bigoted towards everyone else.
At best this extension has become a tool for petty discourse, and is now next to useless for identifying actual transmisogynists or transphobes. - Rated 5 out of 5by Charlie, 3 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19025225, 4 days agoIt used to be very useful, but now seems to consistently inaccurately mark people, both as safe and as unsafe individuals. Intersex people in particular have been consistently marked as unsafe for no discernible reason, making the extension effectively useless.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Brisket, 4 days agoThe idea is one of good intention, but the devs are beyond cooked. Understand that you will be subscribing to some otherworldly ideology that includes just about anyone they don't like.
Oh, it also includes okra, like the plant. The wikipedia page for it is apparently transphobic. More likely it's because they use a bloom filter for the "database".
For the uninitiated, a bloom filter is a math model designed to enable you to skip particularly expensive operations on a computer. Importantly, it's explicitly acknowledged to create false positives, which is okay if it means you'll do some extra processing on a CPU sometimes, but is not at all okay if you are marking people/okra as ideological friends/enemies. - Rated 1 out of 5by spuddles, 4 days agoweird as hell for flagging ppl who talk abt intersex struggles and all that. miss when u used to be trustworthy.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ARandomAddOnsUser, 4 days agoIn addition to them marking any talk of transmascs or transmen, intersex issues, etc as terfs, they're now flagging nonbinary people for talking about the issues and oppression we face as nonbinary people as terfs. whoever is in charge of this extension has completely lost the fucking plot
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19023408, 4 days agoIt's really cool that this extension labels intersex people talking about their personal reality as queer people as "transphobia". No, that's really cool: I also liked the part where it labels trans men talking about their personal experiences with targeted transphobia as being transphobic themselves. That was awesome! I'm really glad that this tool of trans safety has become an active proponent of hatred against certain trans people. It makes me really happy to see infighting tearing apart the community. I'm so glad that while my legal existence is being destroyed, I can get online and notice that people who casually discuss bigotry against trans men & mascs are now considered transphobic by certain members of our community. That makes me feel really safe! Cool fucking extension, assholes!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13734628, 5 days agothis extension is biased against transmascs, and is now basically useless for telling who's for and against trans people. as a transfem, your support of trans people is useless if it does not include transmascs
- Rated 5 out of 5by PunishdSqrrl, 6 days agothis app is working as intended and being review bombed for it.
transphobes stay mad and alt-f4 - Rated 5 out of 5by A.M, 8 days agoYou know the app is working as intended (for trans women to signal who is dangerous or not) because the people saying it doesn't work, all sound like MRAs
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17676743, 8 days agoI've used Shinigami Eyes for years and really have liked it, but there's been an increasing issue with false flags. Plenty of trans friendly people are flagged for seemingly no reason? I've seen many people flagged as anti trans for talking about butterflies (but-terf-lies). I've also seen plenty of people who have been extensively transphobic get pardoned from reports. It doesn't help that there's seemingly no way to provide evidence when reporting so if someone sufficiently posts about something else before getting reviewed, they're can avoid being marked. I'm not sure how this moderation process is working anymore.

- Rated 1 out of 5by mh, 9 days agoThis extension used to be really useful. Now, it's marking a lot of queer, trans, and intersex people red just because they disagreed with the creators about stuff like "can intersex people be trans" and "do transmen face oppression" and "is it okay to misgender non-binary people and call them slurs when they annoy you".
