Rated 1 out of 5
by LookingForLoo, a year agoWanted 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by awawa, 19 hours agoDisregard the reviews from transmisogynists who are mad they or their fellow men's rights activists friends got marked red. Men are not oppressed on the basis of being men, never have been, never will be, and if you are a trans man actively de/misgendering yourself to try to cry that you're oppressed for your "female socialization" or whatever the hell, you have fallen for transmisogynistic dogwhistles. Do better. If you're on the fence, it's quite accurate, EVEN ON TUMBLR, and if you disagree with that, you are part of the problem. It's actually LESS accurate on other sites like Bluesky or Twitter because people will get marked green for saying "trans rights" once, but then they'll post dogwhistles and slurs that harm transfeminine people.

- Rated 5 out of 5by gigi, 4 days agothis add-on is actually rlly reliable if you fully comprehend *why* the people who are marked red/green are marked red/green. it's not about whether or not you're "nice" or are "normal," it's about whether or not you're safe for trans people to be around; specifically, *transfeminine* people, as they are the most vulnerable members of the trans community, and anyone who isn't safe for them shouldn't be considered "trans friendly." that's really all there is to it. useful extension!!! although i agree with people who say it would be nice to know why certain people were marked red/green, the context would be useful too

- Rated 2 out of 5by Talon, 13 days agouseful for news websites or social media users, completely useless for tumblr. normal people are often marked red while extremely aggressive people are sometimes marked green. discourse stances shouldnt be a measure on minority discrimination.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19809155, 16 days agothe 1-star reviews complaining about transmasc and intersex people getting marked red fail to consider WHY they get marked red (hating trans women)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17727821, 17 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by mystieneko, 18 days agolots of false flags, intersex people and trans men are almost always marked red while transmisandrists are marked green
- Rated 1 out of 5by thevdsasff, 19 days agoused to use this religiously after it first came out and at first it was genuinely useful. now after discovering i'm intersex i try to go to any community for the topic anywhere and everyone is marked red because our discussions of gender and sex don't 100% align with the mods views (which then gets called transmisogynist, when nobody is saying anything of the sort at all). this includes a disproportionate number of transfems, so the claims that simply being transfem will get you marked green are false. i have, however, seen people get marked within days of making an account somewhere *just because they are posting in intersex spaces*. so do with that information what you will. i personally never plan on using the extension again, i'll vet people myself
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19803232, 19 days agoAbysmal tool if you genuinely care about safety from transphobes. There is a mountain of examples where people who spew intersexist, exorsexist and antitransmasculine hatred 24/7 get to secure their "safe" marking while painting their trans siblings who won't stand for that as the real transphobes.
- Rated 1 out of 5by frak, 19 days agoThe Wikipedia page for gloves is marked green but only in spanish and asturian, this thing has no moderation whatsoever
It also says a lot that most of the recent 5 stars reviews are "you're just mad you're transmisogynistic and got flagged red LOL!" but never address the racism and the transphobes being flagged green complaints that they're responding to
I've also just noticed that the website got updated since when I first installed this addon and lists "theyfab" as a "community infighting" term when I've only ever heard it being said by TERFs. It's an enbyphobic slur and it's clearly transphobic - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17409768, 21 days agoThis extension- as many others have already pointed out- is no longer accurate or curated in any shape or form. I've used it for many years now, and I just keep catching false flags, especially on tumblr. Not worth the download in 2026

- Rated 3 out of 5by Spider-Man, 23 days agoI wish there was a way to see why someone is marked as pro or anti trans. Like a quick description "Posts hateful comments on twitter" or "Regularly Advocates for trans rights during live streams"
- Rated 2 out of 5by rani, a month agoWhile at times very good, the community-sourced data on tumblr is prone to bad information from TERFs, false flags from petty infighting, and racism. Often, a trans-friendly and specifically transfeminine blog will be removed by community flagging for having affiliated with any other blog that does not subscribe to specifically radical transfeminist theory. The review process simply cannot keep up with the type of flagging system it has. I also still have concerns over how in the past, attempts to flag exorsexist and otherwise 'truscum' blogs were thrown out, and concerns about exorsexism as a form of transphobia were dismissed for potentially muddying the water in flagging transmisogynists. I'd honestly rate this app at a 3 were it not for its claims of being concerned with transphobia or anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments as a whole, when many reviewers and users will tell you that the extension was always only intended to report transmisogyny.
