I used it for many years. It used to be very good for telling if someone is more covert about their transphobia-
However, lately, the people doing all the rating and anybody who might be approving those ratings only seem to care only about discrimination against trans women, and nobody else. This extension was never for ONLY labeling transmisogyny, it was for transphobia as a whole.
Before anyone makes assumptions, I am not saying that transmisogyny is not a serious issue. It is very serious and you should defend your trans sisters. But it is not the only issue, and it is not the only focus of this extension.
Taken directly from the github: "This extension is focused on anti-trans (including anti-nonbinary) sentiment".
I have seen many people who are blatantly anti-nonbinary being flagged as "trans-friendly". I have seen people going as far as to say trans men should be killed flagged as "trans-friendly".

I will not deny that most people flagged as red deserve it, because it is true.
But lately, I have seen many people doing nothing but pointing out intersexism in trans communities get flagged as red, as well as people acknowledging that trans men also face discrimination (not even using that "transandrophobia" term which people seem to hate so much) flagged as red.
Trans women and trans men both face discrimination, which often presents itself in different ways. Trans women tend to be hyper visible (many anti-trans laws focusing on trans women, being afraid of "men" in women's restrooms, sports teams, etc., V-coding in prisons, and more), while trans men tend to be erased (deaths -often due to transphobic hate crimes - get labeled as femicide, reduced to "mentally ill women" or that they were "manipulated", correctively raped, the identities trans men throughout history get erased, and more). They are both serious issues, and both should be talked about.

I have also seen many very loud racists i have seen labeled "trans-friendly" purely because they also happen to be trans. The extension github also mentions something along this line- "Being transgender, having some decent minimum standard like "hurting people = bad", or supporting the overall LGBT community" is underneath the header "Not enough to mark as trans-friendly". Somebody who only has respect for specific groups of trans people should not be considered "trans-friendly"

I understand that proper moderation for this extension is tough if not outright impossible. But i am pretty tired of bad actors poisoning the well for seemingly no reason other than to cause infighting.

Also, not the most relevant, but I have also seen many people talk about purposefully flagging users as anti-trans over petty discourse (especially fandom-related) that has nothing to do with trans people or even LGBT issues as a whole. I would not be surprised if at least some of those flags have made it through to other users.
Because of this I started to feel it would be useful to have a function to submit WHY somebody is being flagged for whichever reason, though with more thought, that would likely only be abused as well if not properly moderated...

helpful

I just want a little bit more transparency, more options in the options page (like more colors for ones you marked yourself, or if it was verified by the team running this), maybe hover notes on why a page was submitted and colored with simple 'time updated' metadata, because what if the mark was from ages ago and nobody looked to update it if it was someone being 14 or something 10 years ago.

I use it mostly to take a page, blog, or person with a grain of salt and to look into it myself, because sometimes transmeds can be green and someone simply with unusual pronouns for their gender can be red.
I probably used this for so long every time I see a colored blog it likely is my mark that's clientside, which is why I still use it, since I constantly curate it.

Nobody can perfectly verify everything and some can fly under the radar, if you are using this plugin, PLEASE don't be afraid to mark/submit your findings too, there may be issues but you can help by submitting the correct dropdown even if its already marked. Even clearing marks is helpful.

not much help when it doesnt tell you why someone was marked red. when i come across a youtube channel marked red, and the channel is nothing but innocuous content unrelated to lgbt issues, am i supposed to just believe that? im not going through all their social media to find the truth. transphobia is a heavy accusation, you best have a good reason for it.

The negative reviews are from terf bots, ignore.

i don't care about tmras and transmisogynists whinging about how they're being bullied for spreading vile bs abt trans women, but i have seen actual 4tranners get marked green, including a dedicated 4tran subreddit. come the fuck on. you wouldn't call an edtwt user a feminist for saying moid.

it's just become a discourse tool now, which is functionally useless for measuring what is and is not actually unsafe for trans people (esp women) to be around.

y'all the rating are community made if someone who is a trans ally is marked red it's because people using the extension marked it as red for some reason

pretty 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

alright 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.

I 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?

Was 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.

It 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.
