by blank, a year agoyou can literally go look at the listed guidelines on the github and see that this extension officially supports use of 4chan diy-slur "theyfab" and twitter diy-slur "tenderqueer" because "they're used to call out problems in our community!"-- equating them to truscum and transmed, endonyms first adopted by the group they refer to and which also notably do not soft-misgender said groups or imply their genders themselves are morally suspect, and refusing to acknowledge that these terms are constantly used in bad faith against people who have not committed any real lateral transphobia and frankly often in openly transmedicalist ways!
on top of this, the extension is wildly susceptible to brigading or biased usage in ways that are often completely superfluous and sometimes not even explainable through subjective intracommunity discourse (do we REALLY need to mark joseph mccarthy of all people red?)
i've used this extension for something like seven years, i've spent time going through terf blogs to methodically mark every party in a reblog chain sometimes, it is genuinely hard to drop it when it HAS and sometimes still DOES serve an important purpose! there's the second star! but it's kind of hard to justify keeping it up when trying to use it for its primary personal utility for me (trying to inoculate my posts from circling among transphobes by playing blocking whack-a-mole) is throwing more false positives than actual transphobes
...
also the fact that e-harassment luminary requires hate is marked green. one simply has to laugh
exciting edit/update in re: the assertions that this extension is a bastion of pro-transfem rhetoric and everyone who has left a negative review must simply be a transmisogynist review bomber angry at being called out: copy and paste the following wacky characters into an "x.com, the everything app" tab and check out the color op's display name is written in!: "/FEMCELSEDUCER/status/1907378415889432763"

- Rated 1 out of 5by KYLEGUTZZ, 9 hours agoLike. SO many trans men, non-binary and intersex people are marked as transphobic on this thing for speaking about the oppression they face. So fucked. Also like. a lot of black trans people are marked red for no reason??? Racist and transphobic, avoid at all costs. If you need to check if a page or blog is transphobic, just do the work yourself.
- Rated 4 out of 5by bunglung, 2 days agopretty good. ive been using it for a while and has been largely accurate. im not sure the specifics of the process. but as of late it seems false negatives within the system have been circulating just for people combating transmisogyny. one thing that would help is when somebody is marked red or green (though it would benefit red marks the most) it gives a reason why they were marked such and a link/screenshot to where the person expressed a belief which way. don't use it without checking, especially for red marks, but it can help bring your attention to whether or not a person might be transphobic
- Rated 5 out of 5by Galius, 4 days agoalright I gotta swallow my pride and say that when I made my last review, I was duped. I was poorly informed by the reviews, and after using the plugin and better understanding the actual conversation around the relevant issues, I'm changing my 1 star review to a 5 star review.
Effective plugin, and it feels nice to see green names going around. Recommended if you think it would help you. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 20037153, 6 days agoI looked at the guidelines when wondering why so many pro-transgender pages are marked red and it sounds like using assigned-gender-at-birth language is being encouraged as "do not mark trans-friendly" due to transmisogyny. Julia Serrano's article on what transmisogyny is does use that language. So am I supposed to mark Julia Serrano as anti-trans??? I'm supposed to flag the woman who coined the term "transmisogyny" as being violently transphobic? That sounds rather counterproductive! Can the developer explain why this is supposed to make sense? Are people flagging others just to see them turn red? Did anti-trans people raid the app, and the mods just can't keep up?
- Rated 1 out of 5by mina, 6 days agoBeen noticing a very weird pattern of trans people of color (regardless whether they're ftm, mtf or enby) or people who point out racism within trans community being marked as red. Do not use.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Meowing, 6 days agoReview bomb this fake trans friendly app, wouldn't be surprised if the owner is a trans women chaser who is also transphobic
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20033086, 8 days agoI got marked red because I said I headcanoned ralsei as transmasc
- Rated 2 out of 5by woob, 8 days agoWas using this for years to avoid dealing with blatant transphobes but now half the markers are over intracommunity squabbles so it's become practically useless for that purpose. trans woman btw.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20031774, 8 days agoInsanely transphobic, exorsexist, and intersexist, it's so disappointing

- Rated 1 out of 5by explodingcows54, 11 days agovery commonly see transmeds (people who police transness) marked as green and trans men marked as red, with no evidence theyre anti trans or trans friendly. lacks unbiased review.

- Rated 4 out of 5by tsintzask, 15 days agoIt works fine. Of course anything with a community-sourced database is gonna have its misfires, but overall it serves its purpose well enough.
I'd like the ability to mark stuff on mobile firefox too, though. Or at least to be able to manually import an override list, or something along those lines. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16876736, 16 days agoif you are a trans woman you NEED this extention. if you are a trans man who knows transandrophobia is not an actual axis of oppression and wants to be more of a transfeminist you NEED this extention.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19938679, 16 days agoHorribly transphobic extension! It marks trans men/mascs, nonbinary people, and intersex people as "transphobic" for simply talking about the oppression they face, meanwhile trans women/fems are allowed to be as racist, ableist, and laterally queerphobic as they want, and they're somehow fine. The creators of this extension should be ashamed of themselves. At best, there's no oversight or verification of any kind to prevent this, and at worst, this is something they actively encourage. Absolutely disgusting.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BB, 22 days agoRather than correctly marking people as trans friendly/anti-trans it's being weaponized to pit Trans siblings against each other. Unless you're purposely trying to fracture the trans community, DO NOT INSTALL. Shinigami eyes cannot be trusted.

- Rated 5 out of 5by NixDrgnslyr, 25 days agoIf you have basic information parsing skills you'll be fine using this extension. False positives are real but they can be fixed if more people use the extension lol
