- Rated 1 out of 5by gem, 4 months agotrans men do face specific oppression for being trans men. that does not necessitate that "misandry" as a whole exists, as trans men are not one-to-one with cis men. said oppression is generally based in misogyny, actually. unfortunately, the creators of this app have decided that people who acknowledge this are transphobic/transmisogynistic.
you all have the chance to apologize to your fellow trans people and make this right! there are absolutely transphobic trans people, i'm not disputing that. but you all seem to be very choosy as to what qualifies for that. for example, calling someone "theyfab" is innately transphobic, yet that is allowed to slip by. i've marked transmisogynistic trans men and anti-transmasculine trans women, and only the former stays red universally. stop having double standards, y'all. - Rated 1 out of 5by Remy, 4 months agooriginally started off as a great tool to help identify terfs, radfems, and other conservatives, but recently, people who have been standing up for intersex and transmasc rights and talking about their oppression have resulted in very trans-friendly people being marked as red. unreliable at best and downright dangerous at worst. do better
- Rated 1 out of 5by te, 4 months agono longer trustworthy. people marked trans-positive will say / post blatant transphobic rhetoric as well as attacking other trans people openly. don't get this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by aworm, 4 months agoUsed to be useful for filtering out TERFs. Shinigami Eyes is useless now since the mods are blatantly against intersex people, and abuse their power against vulnerable community members. Not trustworthy.
- Rated 1 out of 5by termsofuhoh, 4 months agoDevs went off the rails and have started marking intersex people and activists as "transphobic." Very disappointing.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Keev, 4 months agoTo make an extension that has been seen as a way to keep the trans and LGBTQ+ community safe, only to then weaponize this to attack and demonize transmascs, intersex people, and poc, is frankly disappointing and worth condemning. We should be seeking trans unity, and this extension is no longer reliable to achieve such.
- Rated 1 out of 5by DocMcMoth, 4 months agoHas become increasingly unreliable as the devs have started marking profiles of intersex people as "transphobic", even when they have expressed support for the trans community.
- Rated 1 out of 5by apparent-angel, 4 months agohas started targeting transmascs/enbies and pro-autonomy intersex mentions as red. no longer trustworthy
- Rated 1 out of 5by William Bell, 4 months agoPeople marked as ProTrans very often spout trans phobic rhetoric, especially against transgender men. Conversely, people marked as anti-trans are merely criticizing other people in many cases.
Many of the flags, seemed to violate the extensions own guidelines. Every person marked as either pro or anti should contain a list of no less than five posts that caused them to be marked with a particular label. - Rated 1 out of 5by milkichippy, 4 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18735080, 4 months agoExtremely dissappointing that they've marked intersex inclusive people and transmascs as anti-trans. This app has become completely useless.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BlueSkys, 4 months agoThis used to be a good extension and has saved me a lot of headache for months. However, as of late the creators seem to have lost their way and are transphobic themselves. I mostly use this extension on tumblr where I've seen people speak up loudly for the intersex community and trans men only to get marked as red. It's despicable that this is happening to people and only dividing us further apart. The rise of one star reviews are well deserved and if you value supporting your trans family, give this extension a pass because it does not reflect the values it pretends to uphold.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Battlenuts, 4 months agoWrongly marks trans friendly, intersex people, POC struggles, etc etc, or any person the moderators disagree with as red. It's a shame such a useful extension has been corrupted by hate, in times when we should all be standing together. Shame on mods.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anomaly, 4 months agoI've seen a lot of discussion about this extension online recently, so I wanted to make a review giving my thoughts on this.
As other reviews have stated, the creator is liable to flagging intersex advocates and people who are anti-transmed as transphobic. There have also been incidents in the past where transphobes have worked together to create false flags.
At its core there is an issue with tools that either label people as good or bad with zero context. You don't know if someone who's transphobic on a tool like Shinigami eyes -or even blocklists for that matter - is on there for harassing trans people, is on there because of an intra-community disagreement, or a blacklist creator or submitter personally decided to put them on there for an unrelated reasons. These types of tools can be used to isolate people from their community and smear names.
I truly do understand why people flock to a tool like Shinigami Eyes. We are a group of people that are burnt out of being in danger and having to deal with harassment and want a way that we can easily know who to avoid. It sounds great in theory, but in practice, these types of issues are always liable to happen whether it's with Shinigami Eyes, a curated blacklist, or the callout of the week.
The best you can really do is curate your online space. Check people's posts yourself before you follow them, quietly block whenever you see something you want to avoid, and don't over rely on face-paced social media. - Rated 1 out of 5by aeiou, 4 months agoKeeps marking random Tumblr users as transphobic because the creator disagrees with them.
