- Rated 1 out of 5by Toreador, a year agoI used to love this extension, but now I gotta say, it's no longer working as intended. One of the instructions to "Mark as anti-trans{...}opposition to gender-affirming care and enby-phobia." is being ignored or dismissed - I have seen people marked red who are actively defending nonbinary, intersex & even other binary trans people, and some of the most vitriolic hatred towards other trans people (as in actual calls for violence, as in "I hope these people get put down like dogs") from accounts marked green.
It feels like this service is increasingly being used to facilitate & legitimize intracommunity oppression and drama (eg, someone who said all transphobia is bad is marked as red & that is frequently an argument used against her), and frankly, life's too short for that. If this isn't resolved, I'm unfortunately gonna have to part ways with this extension – I can use my own understanding of how transphobia works & is disseminated.
UPDATE: Lost all faith in this application, have since deleted. Learn dogwhistles on your own, kids, because this thing is useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by FfoxUser22475, a year agoUsed to be a very useful addon, but lately (maybe due to a change of who's in charge?) has been flagging accounts for things that really shouldn't be flagged, such as people who talk about intersex and transmasc issues.
This shouldn't be used for infighting. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18721403, a year agoMore and more often I'm finding people maliciously and incorrectly flagged red to silence them because people don't like them. Talk about trans men having issues? Flagged red because apparently that's transphobic now. Call for unity in trans communities instead of infighting? Apparently that's transphobic now. Talk about transphobia in trans spaces or other bigotry in trans spaces and trying to find ways to make our communities safer for each other? Apparently that's also transphobia now. Great idea in theory but it's being so much more widely misused as to be useless now. I would stay away for now. Uninstalling it myself because it's genuine just easier to manually check users I'm unsure about at this point.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18720375, a year agoGood in concept. However, I've been recently seeing a concerning amount of (pro-trans) intersex advocates marked a anti-trans. Transmasc and nonbinary advocates have been targeted too, as well as trans women who support them.
Furthermore, the developer(s) have unfortunately shown an intersexist and anti-nonbinary attitude in responses to some reviews, as well as their official guidelines (the assumption that "AFAB transfemme" is necessarily an anti-trans false flag when it is a label most often used by intersex people for one, as well as the assertion that "theyfab", an anti-nonbinary slur popularized on 4chan, isn't transphobic).
This is making me think the moderator(s) are using this extension as a weapon for intra-community discourse, which is antithetical to the goal of creating a safe community for all trans people. - Rated 1 out of 5by thisthingsucks, a year agoThis is the only time I have ever bothered to review an extension, really good for people like me who like infighting and human suffering
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17608767, a year agoUsed to be very useful, but now is being weaponized against transmasc and intersex people for talking about their experiences and oppression

- Rated 1 out of 5by moz, a year agothis add-on used to be fantastic, but apparently the author of the plugin not only approves of but also has started advocating marking intersex, non-binary, and trans men / trans masculine people as transphobic (making their name red). this is absolutely unacceptable and i will no longer be using this extension, despite it having been a great help prior.
- Rated 1 out of 5by catboy, a year agowhile i really like the concept of this, the metrics by which users are being categorized bothers me. why are people who are ADVOCATING for nonbinary/intersex/transmasc people getting marked red (transphobic)?? i kind of wanna make a better version of this actually but idk if i will... maybe over christmas break. ah well...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14037023, a year agoIf people who are not transphobic, but advocating for intersex, non-binary, transmasc people are marked as red, this is no longer a tool that is useful for my safety online, but just another intersexist tool

- Rated 1 out of 5by Seal, a year agoThis add-on is being used as a tool to suppress intra-community discussions. In particular those who voice support for the experiences of trans masculine, non-binary, and intersex individuals are at risk of being marked as transphobic.
- Rated 1 out of 5by c0dyc0la, a year agoThis used to be an extremely helpful add-on for helping to identify queerphobes online. Unfortunately, the creator behind this add-on is unwelcoming of intersex people within our community. Intersex people, and Intersex-Welcoming people will be marked red by this extension. The creator has also spoken ill of Intersex people in replies to reviews. Community is about togetherness, and Queerness is about acceptance. Not being welcoming of Intersex people in our community is destroying the bond of togetherness and acceptance.
- Rated 1 out of 5by CowlRaven, a year agothis 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18714676, a year agoThis 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by egg, a year agoit'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
- Rated 1 out of 5by SugarRushed, a year agoThis 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by emokidvirgil, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18713180, a year agoWhile 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ROTTENDECOMP, a year agoGood 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.
