I've used this extension for years. It's been pretty useful, but lately the flaws have become too rampant to ignore.

A large number of people have been mistagged, with rabidly transphobic authors being marked as trans-friendly (often due to them having been reasonably trans-positive in the past) and people who aren't reasonably able to be described as bigots being marked as transphobic. Of note is that r/XenogendersAndMore is still tagged as transphobic, which is an issue that has been known for years and hasn't been fixed.

This leads me to believe that this extension simply isn't being maintained at all. Any kind of review process that may have once existed clearly no longer does. I'm not sure if it's because the developers got overwhelmed, or just abandoned the project, or whatever, but it appears that there's just no accuracy checking occurring anymore, outside of sheer mass of reports.

Given that, I can simply no longer recommend using this extension. With a lack of any kind of maintenance, quality checking, or anything else to ensure that tags stay accurate, it is far too open to abuse and will likely continue to decline in usefulness.

it's been co-opted by racists to put down black trans women who speak up about white trans women fyi.

intersexist bullshit lmao

Do not trust anyone saying the red marks are "deserved". All these so called transmisogynists do not actually hate trans women, theyre targeting ppl who talk abt transandrophobia and enbyphobia or whoever dares to criticize ppl who hate trans men and enbies and call them slurs, which sometimes applies to trans women. This is not "transmisogyny" as I see people mismarked all the time, and actual terfs and known rapists marked as green. Stop watering down what transmisogyny is, speaking as a transfem myself

cannot overstate how disappointing it is to see how many users flagged green say the words theyfab and p**ner in a derogatory way. even without the discourse these words are transphobic and the extension is not doing its intended function.

Easily manipulated, inaccurate, and frequently inaccurately marks marginalized people as transphobic, while marking TERFs as friendly. Just use your judgement.

Used to be reliable, until it became a total infighting mess. I keep seeing people using actual slurs against transmascs and nonbinary people being marked green.

used to be pretty useful as a baseline, but as others have said, either through little moderation and bigotry of certain users, or bigotry of the mod team itself, various transmasculine, intersex, and nonbinary people, alongside anyone vocally supportive of them, have been getting marked as transphobic, which is really not a precedent you want to set on a supposedly trans-friendly addon. steer clear.

Used to be super reliable, now people who discuss intersex and transmasc issues are being marked as TERFs. Radfems have completely taken over.

TL;DR badly run and overrun with radfems and other bigots who hate transmascs and intersex people (and transfems too, i'd argue). not worth dealing with unless you think transmascs are the source of all oppression.

rules are too vague and often don't make sense. too community run with no oversight so random people get dogpiled and marked as bigots for personal beef. generally very useless. doesn't seem to have any admin running it, as very big figures who are known bigots have never been marked as transphobes but small tumblr accounts are, even if they aren't actually bigoted.

generally not a well run addon. also i don't like the lack of colors. tends to glitch out text but thats probably a compat. issue with other addons. kinda just sucks when you should just use your brain to decipher if someone has damaging beliefs instead of trusting god knows who. there is nothing stopping anyone from targeting people they don't like.

Used to be a legitimate tool at one point then people started using it for interpersonal beef.
I'll scroll an entire blog/website marked red, not see a single thing indicative of transphobia, and I'm left only able to assume some random person just didn't like them. Radfems/cryptoterfs though? Blank, apparently no one can be bothered to mark those.
Good job "rooting the transmisogynists out of the community" which apparently includes every intersex person alive. And keep doubling down it's making us look so smart.

Witnessed a significant number of instances recently of people being marked green while actively misgendering trans people, calling them slurs etc. and people being marked red despite the exact opposite behaviour. Not fit for purpose outside of certain public figures whose positions are already very obvious.

Completely useless. Every trans user I come across is false flagged as 'anti-trans.' Is there zero moderation on this thing? It's lost all functionality. I go to their profiles and there's obviously not a single transphobic post.

literally just transgender culture war stuff at this point. like actually. people just scroll the transandrophobia tag on tumblr and mark anyone who posts anything vaguely pro transmasc as red because it's turned into an us-vs-them shitshow. i'm marked red purely because i'm a trans man and tagged a single post with transandrophobia bc i'd seen some people i knew using it - i'm not even involved in discourse and i don't post about trans issues! i don't know a single trans man irl and basically half of my friends are trans women who came out because of me! i know on paper that doesn't mean shit but i'm the most comically non-transmisogynist guy out there, i just made a post saying that we shouldn't be mean to transmasc teenagers and suddenly i got 3 asks saying that i should kill myself and i'm marked red. so :/
anyway it's probably useful to know that in the ten minutes i've used this that i've seen actual terfs marked green because they mostly post about how much they hate transmascs and i've seen fandom accounts by thirteen year olds marked red because they post on the tag transmasc a lot. it's not a tool for detecting transphobia, at the MOST it could work for detecting some transmisogynistic users but it's just being weaponized to the point it's just a transmasc detector.

This used to be good, but over the past few years, some transmisogynists from KiwiFarms have been using it to mark and harass trans people for the crimes of either also being furries or not transitioning out of fear of government persecution. If we don't accept them harassing us with terms like cissexual or their anti-furry nonsense, we're called tr**ns or whatever other slur they happen to think of that day.
