- Rated 1 out of 5by Elisavet, 16 hours agoMy experience is that almost every trans individual who is intersex, POC, and/or nonwhite and who speaks openly in favour of trans rights has been marked red in this app.
Abuse of the app is rampant and uncontrolled to a point that it feels it is by design. I'm really tired of seeing actual trans activists getting put in the same boat as JKR. It's demoralizing how much this app exacerbates intra-community tensions by allowing petty users to mark anybody whose vibes they just don't like as "anti-trans". - This extention has become horrifically weaponized by transphobes and radicals. It is inaccurate, outdated, and impossible to maintain in its current state.
Transphobes- primarily TERFs- have overrun the extention and turned it into their own personal list of people they don't like. It is a weapon being used to divide the Queer Community. It heavily targets trans men, transmascs, intersex and nonbinary people, as well as transfems and allies who disagree with TERFs. These targetings are doubled against people of color, because it's also extremely racist!
There are many cases where calling for death and/or detransitioning of certain subsections of trans people will keep you marked green if it isn't aimed at trans women. Tell me how wishing death upon any trans people makes you a safe, supportive ally worthy of trust?
The pure hatred and vitriol I've seen coming from some people while they remain as marked 'safe' is disgusting.
Speaking out about your own oppression as a non-transfem? You get marked red.
Supporting masculine trans people and affirming them? You get marked red.
Saying that enforcing strict binaries (such as TME/TMA, AFAB enby/AMAB enby, etc.) is intersexist, transphobic, inaccurate, and disgusting? You get marked red.
Simply using the word "transadrophobia" without bashing it can get you marked red. They're that petty.
Many trans women, transfems, and cis allies have been marked red as well for defending their trans/intersex brothers and siblings. A lot of people claim this addon is useful for rooting out transmisogyny when it's not even good at doing that! Regardless, the extention was created with the intent to mark ALL transphobic content and individuals. Why is only one branch of it being so heavily prioritized now?
This extention is antithetical to creating a safe and unified online environment for trans people. It is dangerous. I'm not sure if there's any good alternatives to this extention, but please don't waste your time and DON'T use Shinigami Eyes.
We can do better. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19539583, 4 days agoUsed to be very helpful but is clearly being used to target people someone doesnt agree with. I say that as a transfem who is hating seeing it used against my trans siblings.
- Rated 1 out of 5by cheeseflavor, 5 days agoUsed to really love this extension. Sadly, it's no longer reliable, and it seems as though there are issues with flagging these days. The vast majority of tumblr pages that I see flagged as red are explicitly trans friendly or often even trans themselves. There definitely seems to be a bias against transmasc/nb/intersex users. Not to mention the many green pages I've seen that are straight up homophobic to all LGBT people. Go back to using your critical thinking skills. I am uninstalling after years of use.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19057933, 6 days agoIt's a good addon, but it would be really nice to see exactly why some accounts or websites are marked red, also gives people complaining about being marked red for anti-feminist sentiments less wiggle room.
- Rated 5 out of 5by lesbiannerd640, 7 days agoIgnore the review bombers. They are straight up transmisogynists that are angry at being called out. Trans women and transfems can be transmisogynistic. There is a huge wave of intracommunity transmisogyny lately. I have NEVER seen a false positive, and *maybe* one false negative - and SO MANY people who are marked red who are objectively unsafe to be around as a trans woman.
I have been marked green on multiple accounts. Each time it happened after I said something that demonstrates an understanding of what transmisogyny is, what it is like, and how to *not use it against people*. Never in my lifetime of using this have I seen someone marked green who didn't clearly deserve to be. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19535359, 7 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19534951, 7 days agoin theory useful but the people who currently decide who is and is not "transphobic" for this addon are hateful people who want you to trust their information unquestioningly. there is no way to see why someone is marked red or green, and many outspoken transgender people and activists are marked red for no apparent reason. do not use this extension if you actually want to avoid transphobes

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jess, 19 days agohow is this even allowed is beyond me. the intention is obvious. the premise is dangerous. there was a time where people got marked for their identity... in germany.
- Rated 1 out of 5by robinbird, 19 days agoThis is an abusive extension that marked my trans activist friend as transphobic and some transphobe i know as GREEN
- Rated 5 out of 5by system-ellie, 21 days agoim pleased to say that this addon is beautiful and shows clearly the folks i can and cannot trust
love it hopefully people stop negative review bomming it - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14973578, 23 days agoWhile a good idea in theory, this extension has become completely useless due to a variety of factors leading the information it provides to be unreliable. The main issues are as follows:
- There is no system to view the reason why someone is marked as either pro-trans or anti-trans; the extension instead expects you to trust its opaque data set without question. I'd find it hard to trust any source which makes bold claims regarding a person's bigotry (or lack thereof) without at least one specific example.
- The voting data is processed using an imprecise algorithm known as a "bloom filter" which has a tendency to erroneously categorize people in either the pro-trans or anti-trans category when there aren't actually any votes to support that.
- The anonymous voting is incredibly susceptible to false flags, particularly from exclusionist subgroups within the trans community. This leads to many transmasc, nonbinary and intersex people being marked as anti-trans in retaliation for pushing back against hatred directed towards them, while the people who spread that hate are marked as trans-friendly.
The result of this is a once useful tool becoming a vector for character assassination (whether intentional or not) of vulnerable trans people within our own community. I would not consider recommending this unless all of the above points are meaningfully addressed. - Rated 1 out of 5by PaytheToll, 23 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by fishfish, a month agoThis extension is consistently extremely useful for rooting out people who have corrosive opinions. The low scores tend to be because the exact people that are marked as red have a tendency to lash out in the form of review bombing.
Notably: this extension is very good at marking transphobia generally, but with a focus on transmisogyny. There aren't a lot of systems to protect trans women these days, so this is an extremely encouraging tool.
Generally, the review bombing on this is disappointing. My assumption is that the goal here is to muddy the water on this extension or to get it taken down. It's consistently disappointing to see my community act like this.
At the end of the day, this is a tool to protect trans communities. If you're here for that, it's going to help with that. But it's only a tool, and it can only be as effective as a tool
