is it really a smear campaign if many users, such as myself, were unaware of the wrongfully-marked-red accounts of the past year or so, and are only recently learning that this is a widespread issue that isn't being addressed properly? i now know there's no point in trying to address it, as the extension's owners are in on it.

you there, random user looking for an easier way to avoid transphobes online. were you thinking about using it? don't. it was good once. it no longer is.
