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.

went from a tool you could somehow trust in spotting trans positive and transphobic accounts/websites to a transphobic tool itself. i just wonder when exactly you decidet to turn against your own comunity , this is really sad

It'd be great if it worked, but it's pretty clear that it doesn't if you go to the tags terfsafe and transandrophobia on tumblr (under "latest" to get the most variety of posters). About 5% of the posters in the terfsafe tag, at an absolute maximum, are marked red, but 30-50% of the posters in the transandrophobia tag are marked red. For reference, transandrophobia is the word used to discuss the unique oppression, discrimination, and experiences that trans men and transmasculine folks face.

I didn't think to check intersex tags, but I've noticed quite a few intersex people I follow are also marked red despite there being absolutely nothing warranting it on their blogs.

So disappointed.

Not a trans person myself, but this used to be a good litmus test especially when posting in spaces with a lot of trans people. But now half of the red accounts I see are just trans people getting friendly fired over nothing. Pretty much pointless now.

it used to be fine, but nowadays it marks trans men and nonbinary people with red more frequently than transphobes, as well as trans women who speak up on the behalf of trans men and nonbinary people. You're better off avoiding shinigami eyes altogether.

I've used this extension for many years as a trans woman always on the lookout for who might not be so friendly towards people like me, and for a while it was pretty good.

That's all changed dramatically within the last year. I began recently to notice just how many pages and people and websites were obviously false-flagged as transphobic by the extension, despite clear and overwhelming support for non-cis identities and no record of transphobia to be found. Even the LGBTQIA+ wiki and Pride Flag wiki were being flagged.

And that's when I learned that its creator is a transmedicalist who hates trans men, intersex people, neopronoun users, and people with nonhuman identities, and has been completely on board with its abuse by people with similar bigotries.

I can only conclude that this extension is now totally unreliable for its stated purpose, and now strongly discourage its use by anyone who's looking to actually curate their spaces.

What an absolute waste of what was once a good thing.

Enshittified and abused to the point that it is no longer fit for purpose.

this USED to be a good addon and genuinely marked only terfs as red. nowadays it marks literally any transmasc, intersex, or nonbinary person as red for existing and being proud. transfems are also marked red if they post anything about supporting ALL trans people. this addon is FOR terfs at this point 👎

This app is decent but sometimes is used as a bludgeon by terfs marking the average trans/enby poc red. I won't say to uninstall it but do not implicitly believe that every marking it's ever made is true and unbiased. Sorry, but you're still going to have to do your homework if you want to know if someone is transphobic or not.

Does not work as it claims to. I've seen multiple radfem and well known terf accounts marked green, and vocally pro queer and trans friendly accounts marked red.

Incorrectly marks trans men, nonbinary people and intersex people as anti-trans in a way that can only be malicious

White transfems can say the most vile transphobic stuff ever and still be marked green, but any poc that's enby/transmasc/2spirit/intersex and calls them out for it gets marked red. Mhm. Uninstalled.

This extension used to be really useful but I've seen multiple trans people who are outspoken advocates for equality get marked red. I think this is becoming more and more easy to abuse. It also seems like specific to Tumblr there is this thing where trans men and nonbinary people specifically are getting marked red which makes me feel really confused and a bit unsafe??? I'll be uninstalling. This is why we can't have nice things...

edit: It also seems like POC are being targeted. Triple, quadruple yikes.

keep seeing intersex people and people who say that trans men face oppression marked red and people who are honest to god using 'theyfab' marked green. useless at this point

im far more likely to run into someone marked red who just happens to be not white, a trans man, intersex, or a combination of the 3 than an actual transphobe
