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not only be trans too, they also fight for bodily autonomy and their bodies being able to exist without confroming to outdated gender roles.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.

Become entirely useless now. No longer about fighting against transphobia, instead this has become about promoting trans-inclusive radical feminism. Hating trans men is rewarded. It's clear the devs support this hijacking and are fine with the harassment of trans men and intersex people their add-on has been used for lately.

Marking intersex (including trans intersex) users red is allowed. This addon enables perisexism. Also throwing us transmascs under the bus is doing what TERFs want. We should be allowed to talk about transmasc issues without being immediately shut down.

I am very disappointed that this has been twisted in such a way that it is used against the people it is supposed to protect.

Creator calls discussions of transmasc oppression and intersex trans identities transphobic and labels people who use perfectly valid language TERFs when the language directly benefits trans intersex people

I have long appreciated the extension for its work to create inclusive spaces for trans people, but this is clearly not your goal any longer. Calling people transphobes or terfs for talking about the transphobia that they themselves experience is ridiculous, and so is silencing intersex voices in the same way. You allow people to use words like “theyfab” or “tenderqueer” to blatantly make fun of non-binary identities, but trans men saying that they experience transphobia is enough to be marked red? Intersex people talking about their struggles is supposedly transphobic? Are y’all not ashamed?

Works as advertised, but noticing a concerning increase in abuse by users and mislabelling people as transphobic as a means of bad-faith argument. I would encourage both devs and users to reflect on what this extension was made to represent and achieve, rather than weaponising it.

Was a good extension, and then it started to show a clear bias against those who talked about intersex and transmasc people. It's a shame that something that used to be a really good tool is used in such a negative way.. really sucks.

Loved this when it came out and was very usefull in identifying transphobes and terfs. now this extension is fundamentally useless as many trans people and intersex people are being flagged as "not trans friendly" based on arbitrary reasons such as discussing intersexism, and trans-masc struggles. this app is now only useful if you hate intersex people, and trans-mascs

"Appropriating women's language in a way that harms real women is not okay" y'all are so desperate to be TERF's

"appropriating language" says the community who stole and rebranded multiple intersex terms. Intersex individuals are not the ones appropriating

Went out of my way to defend this extension when it seemed like people might have been misunderstanding how it works & using that as reason to conclude the developer was using it as a weapon in intracommunity discourse... only to find out that they're literally in the reviews hashing out that exact same discourse in real time.

Whatever. I can look past some cringy behavior as long as it isn't crossing over into the actual functionality of this tool.

So question for the developer: are you actually taking any use of "AFAB trans women", regardless of context, as reason for flagging someone as anti-trans? Are you taking someone's dislike for the term "theyfab" as reason for marking them anti-trans? Where is the line, exactly; not for you personally, but in the moderation of the extension?

started finding more and more trans people marked as red, discovered it was not because of terf attacks, but because the people behind the extension are intersexist and transphobic themselves. oh, and look, they're in the reviews arguing with people! fantastic. don't waste your time with this extension. it's garbage.

A once pretty great add-on that is now useless for it's main purpose, seeing that red "transphobic" label is being erroneously (or perhaps even purposely by the devs) attached to intersex people, people advocating for intersex rights, trans-mascs, and even some of the trans advocates this add-on claims to help platform.

Unless there's a massive change in ownership (assuming this concept is even worth humoring) you'd be better off just reading up on potential dog-whistles and looking into the accounts yourself, as apposed to letting this biased add-on tell you who it thinks is worth listening too.

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.
