in what WORLD is "theyfab" NOT a transphobic slur? why is the use of that - a term SPECIFICALLY used to belittle and mock enbies - NOT enough to be considered transphobic?

bonus intersexism in the guidelines, so wooo fuckin useless at ACTUALLY filtering transphobes

Sad to see the addon guidelines for marking as trans positive/anti- change to the point where intersex-specific language is held up as an "obvious false flag" and "troll identity", and negative inter-community AGAB-based language and other interactions are "out of scope." Will not be reinstalling.

The creators are openly intersexist and the guidelines for who counts for what are just completely incoherent. At this point it's literally useless.

This extension is almost pointless now with how it does not care to actually protect the people it's supposed to be protecting. Letting intracommunity discourse and personal biases get in the way of objective marking. Marking people as anti-trans just because they have opinions the extension makers don't like. Marking allies as pro-trans just because they aren't transphobic, even if they aren't actively fighting for us. Marking people who actively go out of their way to attack and misgender only certain types of trans people, and intersex people, as pro-trans because "it's okay when it's *these* groups because they are bad". I've been using this add-on since 2018, but I don't see much point in having this anymore if it is straying from its initial goals to create useless markings.

This extension has become absolutely useless for most purposes. Perhaps as a transmisogyny detector, however trans women will always be marked green by default, regardless of how horiffically transphobic they are towards other trans people.

The developer has specifically stated that slurs aimed at nonbinary people are acceptable and will not result in a negative rating. It appears slurs and even straight up misgendering and transphobia aimed at transmascs are acceptable too, because everyone I've seen using them repeatedly and stating their hatred for transmascs has been either marked green or occasionally unrated.

Hi, I'm transfemme. "Theyfab" is an anti-trans slur and we should not play into patriarchal transmisia by not treating it as such. I'll change my review if you fix this. I'm friends with many people affected by this slur and it's silly and divisive to not treat it as such. Trans people don't all hate each other because we came from different backgrounds and have different genders- that's just overemphasized internet drama, not real life. I gave all my old masculine clothes to a friend affected by this slur, and I don't feel comfortable not treating it as a slur. A word that bioessentializes someone's AGAB as their gender is absolutely the definition of transphobia and constitutes a slur. This is like basic transfeminism 101.

made a guide to say its okay to use a slur that misgenders enby people, good job everyone /s

The moderators have begun marking trans people as transphobic for specific stances on intra-community issues; this extension is now useless because of that.

unreliable these days since a lot of people are getting marked red despite being very trans-positive or even previously marked green, and a lot of random people suddenly turning green despite not meeting any requirements. moderation should step up imo.

at one point it seemed decently reliable, but i just saw the entire wikipedia dot org article for okra - yes the plant/food - flagged as transphobic so i uhhh. i have very VERY serious doubts about how well moderated (if at all) the submissions are anymore

Not accurate and relies on feelings instead of facts, what one person thinks is fine another will freak out over. Reviews can't be fact based on something that doesn't rely on facts.

Unless they implement a feature to see what post/reasoning was used to justify the red label, and importantly with sources, then this is only going to be a hindrance to have installed if you want to find non-bigoted people. It's wrong worryingly often.

Unless you talk exclusively about issues relevant to transfemmes, then you're marked as transphobic. They're also way too quick to flag transfemmes as green just for simply being trans, often transmedicalists (aka people who think you're only "allowed" to be called trans if you get full gender affirming care, with all the gender affirming surgeries + HRT) will slip through and be green.

Likely that the people controlling it have serious biases against transmasc and enby people. That or the extension is entirely unmoderated, and has become compromised by automation/people doing false marks.
