this USED to be extremely helpful in marking who/what is and isn't trans-friendly but recently has been falsely marking people who are intersex, transmasc, or trans men as "transphobic" for discussing their experiences with transphobia. absolutely insane and no sign of this being fixed either as the creator apparently wants it to be this way. absolutely malicious and useless extension masked as being helpful to the trans community.

This extension used to be really helpful. It used to be that you would be able to know if a newly discovered youtube channel has been transphobic in the past, or a creator you've only heard of in passing be marked as trans friendly or safe. It used to be a huge benefit and helped me navigate the internet for -years-.

I started questioning it a little while ago and I noticed trans men getting marked. I started noticing posts on antiblackness in the trans community where op was marked in red. There was recently a massive upswing in intersex users being targeted as well, for pointing out outrageous intersexism in the queer community as a whole. They added -in the guidelines- for submitting users that using the transphobic slur theyfab is not enough to be marked red. Notably, this was also when discourse picked up on multiple websites where people were trying to claim trans men and mascs are hiding behind "being afab", and were peddling recycled transmedical/bioessentialist rhetoric that was common back in like 2014.

I've started seeing trans women marked as transphobic for standing against racism in regards towards trans men/mascs of color (notably black and indigenous MOC), transphobic behavior towards all trans men/mascs, intersexism, and exorsexism.

Shinigami Eyes isn't safe anymore. Who knows if its always been safe, even. They cherry pick who gets chosen as good and whos bad. I figured they always had peoples best interests at heart, but considering how abysmally racist, intersexist, and transphobic it is towards trans men and mascs now? I don't even know. Without transparency in why users are marked as transphobic there's no way in hell anyone should trust it. No source behind anything.

Hey! Transfem here!

THIS IS NO LONGER A TOOL FOR MARKING TRANS-SAFE SPACES.

It used to do that, but the developers have some serious issues with transmascs and intersex people, especially BIPOC queers. They deny that transmascs/trans men experience transphobia in a unique manner (transandrophobia) and silence intersex voices.

Do not get this extension. The devs also copy-paste the same cookie-cutter response and, evidentially, are transphobic themselves (presuming there is more than one)


It's worthless guttertrash now. Maybe get it if the devs clean up their act.

Edit: As of December 2024, the devs still haven't fixed shit, and now the extension is BELOW three stars, rightfully.

While I feel like this service can be helpful in certain instances, lately people have been abusing to target queer friendly people they don't agree with (often intersex folks, who's voices need to be heard in every discussion of queer liberation). It is very disappointing to see a service I formerly believed to be helpful and queer-friendly show it's true colors like this. I hope that the moderators rectify this mistake, as this service has been very helpful for me and others in the past. It is just sad to see it destroying it's own reputation by throwing vulnerable members of the queer community under the bus.

it's been useful to me in the past but recently ive been seeing a lot of people being falsely flagged. treat a flag by this extension as a warning, not a rule, and check for yourself if someones marked. really hoping they improve this extension but until trans/nonbinary people stop being flagged for nothing my review will stay the same

This is no longer an extension for telling who is transphobic, but rather one used for discourse and infighting between members of the trans community.

I used to recommend this app to people, but at this point it's no longer a useful tool, nor can I in good conscience recommend it to anyone. Transmascs are marked red simply for talking about their experiences with transphobia and using a term to describe their experience. Intersex people, including intersex trans people, are marked red for calling out intersexism within the trans community. Trans POC have been marked red for calling out racism within the trans community. The devs are aware of the criticism, but have chosen to double down.

While it's a product that sounds good in theory, there's a lot of room for improvement. Which I will not be sticking around to see whether that comes or not, because of some recent decisions and statements from the developers that read as deeply intersexist. I can't in any good conscious support someone with views like that.

Good in theory, but I've seen a non-insignificant number of users marked as green despite repeatedly making multiple obvious anti-trans posts. And vice versa, users marked red despite being vocally pro-trans + trans themselves. That coupled with some of the guidelines on who should be marked green/red make the extension almost worse than useless. (EX: Using the 4chan originated "Theyfab" against others is not enough to flag as transphobic) The extension also leaves little room for intersex people and/or those with contradictory identities, often flagging users as anti-LGBT for simply identifying as intersex/"weird flavor" of nonbinary on their profiles.
Good in theory, less then useless in practice.

Genuinely disappointed by the decisions made recently. Intersex people aren't our enemies, y'all. Being an intersex trans person doesn't make them anti-trans.

Works ok, but often i find my various intersex friends are marked as red on it. gross and disgusting.

as a transfem person, this extension has just become unusable. people promoting blatantly transmisogynistic, anti-nonbinary, anti-trans man things are marked green and so many people who have done nothing or simply called out racism from white trans people are marked red. will be uninstalling.

This thing actually used to be useful but the devs drank the terf koolaid and now there marking intersex, nonbinary and trans men/ mascs for no damn reason.

This used to be a really useful add on I loved it but it has turned into a weapon of discourse with developers who are openly intersexist. Instead of showing you who is or isnt transphobic its just used now to create and in group and an out group and as usual with these situations the out group is almost exclusively marginalized people it is mostly intersex and trans people who talk about their experiences with oppression and how to create proper unity and support between trans people but now they are being labeled as anti trans for no reason this has especially effected intersex people who already deal with lots of bigotry and oppression both within and without the queer community Intersex people and their experiences matter but the people using this extension and even the developer have been openly bigoted towards them and the idea of intersectionality so the extension is useless

Great example of something that was started with good intentions being destroyed by bad faith actors. Unfortunately being entirely user report based with little oversight means that many trans activists are marked as transphobes due to mass reports by actual transphobes.

This extension is basically useless now.

Once upon a time this extension was supposed to help us protect each other. Now, with the developers increasingly supporting transphobia and intersexism themselves, it is clear that we need not let a computer program do what a human community can do better. Look out for each other and yourselves, and uninstall this extension.

so incredibly intersexist and has gone really downhill. terrible extension if you're a trans man/masc or intersex, would not recommend

theyfab and transtrender are terms that originated on 4chan to refer to nonbinary people and transgender men in a derogatory way. they are without any doubt transphobic terms. yet shinigami eyes devs seem to disagree. the voices of transphobes on 4chan matter more than trans men and nb and intersex people to them. dont trust anyone willing to throw other trans people under the bus, theyre more of a danger than anyone shinigami eyes would mark as red. useless addon now.

stay strong brothers.

I once thought this extension was a small, but helpful tool to help me avoid transphobes and threats.

Now, I wonder how many intersex voices I've drowned out, knowing now that the developers of the extension are staunchly against our intersex allies.

People who ARE Transgender are getting flagged as not safe! This add-on is grouping transgender people with transphobes all over identity label discourse, it's sad that one of the only tools to help our community is going to die on a hill that most people (unless they're chronically online) don't know or care about! It's doing more harm than good when random trans women and trans men get labeled as anti-LGBTQ over something that's basically nothing.

Now if someone is marked red, I get a 50/50 chance that they're either a transgender person with a debated over identity or someone that wants to kill LGBT people for just existing!

Handy and easy to use at a glance. Thanks so much!
