actively used to mislabel transmasculine people who talk abt their experiences with transandrophobia, bigender folks and intersex activists as transphobic (this is encouraged by the creator), while many TERFs manage to get marked as safe.

Used to be a very useful extension to avoid covert TERFs but now half of queer or genderqueer users are red. It's definitely been taken over by some people with an agenda to target "bad" trans and queer people. Uninstalling.

A lot of the people complaining about false flags should try a vital first step: stop calling trans women TERFs. TERF doesn't mean "person I disagree with in trans discussions/online discourse". It means Radical feminists who don't want trans women to exist.

If you're calling trans women TERFs, you weren't false flagged. You are not safe for trans women. This extension marks users who are and aren't safe for trans women.

Maybe fix your hearts instead of leaving one star reviews.

I want to start this by saying this extension is really, really helpful. It has saved me from having to engage with TERFs and other bigots of the like numerous times, and works very well in that regard. I don't think it should be removed, but I do think better moderation would be useful. There are definitely some false-flagging issues, like some reviewers have mentioned. I am not an expert on what good moderation would entail, but some sort of thing where you need to actually give a reason for marking (both red and green) could be a decent start. And, overall, people have biases. Of course the markings are gonna maybe be a little false with moderation like this. Shinigami Eyes has a ton of potential, and is already really useful, it just needs some better moderation.

Used to be really useful for finding out transphobes and terfs, now it's used to mark people who aren't binary trans women red for things like "being inclusive" or "speaking about their intersex experience" or even "not wanting to be called a slur"

marks intersex people, regardless of posts, as transphobic. the second youre openly intersex you're marked red.

The latest database update marks every trans and queer person red, who isn't a binary trans women. Everyone from nonbinary people to neopronoun users to intersex people and transmasc people speaking about anything other than trans women's struggle is marked red.

If the maker of this extension still follows the project: It's time to delete this extension! It has completly been hijacked by TERFs and bigoted infighting and gives no actual indiacation of trans friendlyness anymore. The only thing I see people use this for anymore is harrass each other, either but false flagging or bullying people for their falsely flagged status. This thing is no longer a tool for trans safety, but for trans infighting and targeted harrassement.

The creators of this extension claim it was made to fight transmisogyny, but flag trans WOC when they call out racism and transmisogynoir in the community.

Additionally, those who discuss intersexism or exorsexism are also often needlessly flagged as red, including several intersex transfems I've been following for years.

One look at the social media of the creators shows that they only support a very, very limited portion of the trans community, and are actively bigoted towards everyone else.

At best this extension has become a tool for petty discourse, and is now next to useless for identifying actual transmisogynists or transphobes.

It used to be very useful, but now seems to consistently inaccurately mark people, both as safe and as unsafe individuals. Intersex people in particular have been consistently marked as unsafe for no discernible reason, making the extension effectively useless.

The idea is one of good intention, but the devs are beyond cooked. Understand that you will be subscribing to some otherworldly ideology that includes just about anyone they don't like.

Oh, it also includes okra, like the plant. The wikipedia page for it is apparently transphobic. More likely it's because they use a bloom filter for the "database".

For the uninitiated, a bloom filter is a math model designed to enable you to skip particularly expensive operations on a computer. Importantly, it's explicitly acknowledged to create false positives, which is okay if it means you'll do some extra processing on a CPU sometimes, but is not at all okay if you are marking people/okra as ideological friends/enemies.

weird as hell for flagging ppl who talk abt intersex struggles and all that. miss when u used to be trustworthy.

It's really cool that this extension labels intersex people talking about their personal reality as queer people as "transphobia". No, that's really cool: I also liked the part where it labels trans men talking about their personal experiences with targeted transphobia as being transphobic themselves. That was awesome! I'm really glad that this tool of trans safety has become an active proponent of hatred against certain trans people. It makes me really happy to see infighting tearing apart the community. I'm so glad that while my legal existence is being destroyed, I can get online and notice that people who casually discuss bigotry against trans men & mascs are now considered transphobic by certain members of our community. That makes me feel really safe! Cool fucking extension, assholes!

this extension is biased against transmascs, and is now basically useless for telling who's for and against trans people. as a transfem, your support of trans people is useless if it does not include transmascs

You know the app is working as intended (for trans women to signal who is dangerous or not) because the people saying it doesn't work, all sound like MRAs

I've used Shinigami Eyes for years and really have liked it, but there's been an increasing issue with false flags. Plenty of trans friendly people are flagged for seemingly no reason? I've seen many people flagged as anti trans for talking about butterflies (but-terf-lies). I've also seen plenty of people who have been extensively transphobic get pardoned from reports. It doesn't help that there's seemingly no way to provide evidence when reporting so if someone sufficiently posts about something else before getting reviewed, they're can avoid being marked. I'm not sure how this moderation process is working anymore.

This extension used to be really useful. Now, it's marking a lot of queer, trans, and intersex people red just because they disagreed with the creators about stuff like "can intersex people be trans" and "do transmen face oppression" and "is it okay to misgender non-binary people and call them slurs when they annoy you".

people r review bombing this extension for marking transmysogists as bad
- sincerely a trans women who has to deal with this sh#t

Excellent for helping you spot transphobes and transmisogynists and not have to waste your energy with them. I appreciate the simplicity of the extension.

Those complaining about it "incorrectly" marking people as transphobic must reflect upon their words and actions towards their fellow trans people, particularly towards trans women.

I used to very strongly appreciate this extension as a way of letting trans people easily identify transphobes who were actively harmful to our community. Unfortunately it's fallen victim to the all too common trend in our community to segment and divide ourselves rather than working together to keep each other safe.

While I don't mean to diminish the (still very important) conversations regarding inter-community transphobia and failings, it's counterproductive to dismiss and ostracize our own community members. Even if they don't share your opinion on how transphobia applies to one group of trans people vs another, it's important to still stand with them against the people who actively want to eradicate us. Moreover, writing any queer person off as persona non grata is only going to further prevent any productive discussion from actually happening.

Direct discussions about inter-community bigotry are important and healthy. Claiming that trans people are anti-trans for having their own opinion in these discussions is not. I know I'm just some shmuck on the internet and this unlikely to actually get read by anyone doing the mark bombing nonetheless change their mind. But you're actively ruining a valuable tool meant to help us stay safe from the people who hate us. Please reconsider.

And if the Mods of this extension are reading this, consider a new policy for filtering out bad faith reviews, or at least indicating when the label is controversial. I know many trans people who are marked as red, and have been asking for people to refute that rating, but the current system still provides too much weight to whichever side submits more votes, when it should at least indicate the uncertainty.
