Review by kikuri
Rated 4 out of 5
by kikuri, 2 months agoits far from flawless. but its nowhere near as bad as the low reviews make it seem; it remains one of the most useful extensions i have
important note: its extremely important to remember that some people may be transphobic but attempt to appear trans-friendly on the surface, which is what the review-bombings are getting wrong (it seems they rather burn down a useful tool then accept that trans people can still be transphobic, even if coated in progressive language).

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18576472, 2 days agoLargely overrun by weird tumblr trans women who hate anyone AFAB these days. Considering how just being transmasc or thinking pedophilia is bad will get you flagged red.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19866997, 4 days agoThis app is being falsely review-bombed by TERFs and transmisogynists. You only get marked red if you're vocally anti trans and participate in harassment campaigns against trans people. "Transandrophobia" perpetrated by trans women is not a real issue, its not a thing systemically or individually, and it's crypto-TERF rhetoric.
This is a good extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by lucyisbored, 5 days agoImmensely racist and transandrophobic. Also loves to defend pedos, for some reason.
- Rated 1 out of 5by paradoxkin, 6 days agoI am a gender nonconforming trans individual who is outspoken about my support for queer rights, but I found myself marked red on shinigami eyes after someone I got into a petty online disagreement with had all of their friends to mark me as unsafe. This is an issue I've seen repeat over the last multiple years, and it's only gotten worse with time. This used to be a really useful extension, but it's been warped and weaponized against the very community that built it. I can't say I recommend it anymore because it does not accurately identify transphobia/queerphobia as it used to.

- Rated 5 out of 5by solca, 6 days agoStill very good -- not flawless, but absolutely reliable enough for five stars as long as you remember that it is solely a measure of unconditional trans-friendliness, not a "good person" stamp; you could theoretically be a green-flagged Pinkerton if you have unwavering support for trans people, and your sweet kindly grandma who was at Stonewall can be red-flagged if she posted too much about how much she liked What Is A Woman. There's a lot of overlap between transphobes and generally hateful people, but it's important to remember as a (potential) user that's not a perfect overlap.
If anyone's wondering why reviews are so contentious recently, it's because the extension doesn't just red-flag for general transphobia, but also for transmisogyny specifically -- even if the user is friendly towards nb/transmasc folks. This means some of that group is confused that they, a trans person, are being thrown in with the TERFs and conservatives when they were actually stamped that way for being transmisogynistic. The exact bound of what constitutes transmisogyny is vulnerable to infighting, but it's still extremely rare for it to actually cause an issue, and in that case you gotta use your brain.
Maybe someone will make an extension that will green-flag people who support only the part of the community they belong to, but I certainly prefer the stricter requirement that people actually support the entire trans community.
Thanks devs for a very useful extension! - Rated 1 out of 5by sharkbaitcrochet, 8 days agoGenuinely does not serve its intended purpose anymore. People that make threats against trans men and transmascs are marked green but anyone who speaks out against anti transmasculinity, exorsexism, or intersexism is marked red. Trans men and transmascs speaking about their experiences and putting a name to that experience isn't a threat to trans women or transfems.
- Rated 1 out of 5by spiinniing, 9 days agoUsed to be useful. Infiltrated by TERFs, overrun with racism, exorsexism, and lateral transphobia. Cannot speak for other social media sites as I don't use them, but it's useless on tumblr. It used to be if I saw a red name and checked, nearly 100% of the time it was a TERF/radfem or otherwise transphobe. Now, if I see a red name, nearly 100% of the time it's just a trans masculine person or an intersex person. It seems like he/him in bio is enough to get you marked red on this extension now lmfao. Would not recommend, hope an alternative that seeks to protect ALL trans people is created.

- Rated 5 out of 5by gigi, 14 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, 23 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, 25 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, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by mystieneko, a month 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, a month 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
