works well on tumblr but wayyyy too many false positives on twitter. like to the point where i need to wonder if a green account is an actually normal person or someone with the most rancid ideas of trans men you've ever seen. also theyfab isn't some high-tier queer theory jargon it's literally just a 4chan slur meant for community gatekeeping

edit: also looks like anyone who calls out the bs of a certain group of twitter users has a fair chance of getting marked as red for just that and nothing more. sorry but that cis woman who got outed as a notorious internet troll 10 years ago isn't gonna save you LOL

in what WORLD is "theyfab" NOT a transphobic slur? why is the use of that - a term SPECIFICALLY used to belittle and mock enbies - NOT enough to be considered transphobic?

bonus intersexism in the guidelines, so wooo fuckin useless at ACTUALLY filtering transphobes

Sad to see the addon guidelines for marking as trans positive/anti- change to the point where intersex-specific language is held up as an "obvious false flag" and "troll identity", and negative inter-community AGAB-based language and other interactions are "out of scope." Will not be reinstalling.

The creators are openly intersexist and the guidelines for who counts for what are just completely incoherent. At this point it's literally useless.

This extension is almost pointless now with how it does not care to actually protect the people it's supposed to be protecting. Letting intracommunity discourse and personal biases get in the way of objective marking. Marking people as anti-trans just because they have opinions the extension makers don't like. Marking allies as pro-trans just because they aren't transphobic, even if they aren't actively fighting for us. Marking people who actively go out of their way to attack and misgender only certain types of trans people, and intersex people, as pro-trans because "it's okay when it's *these* groups because they are bad". I've been using this add-on since 2018, but I don't see much point in having this anymore if it is straying from its initial goals to create useless markings.

I use this addon to find all the based (red) people! It works great!

This extension has become absolutely useless for most purposes. Perhaps as a transmisogyny detector, however trans women will always be marked green by default, regardless of how horiffically transphobic they are towards other trans people.

The developer has specifically stated that slurs aimed at nonbinary people are acceptable and will not result in a negative rating. It appears slurs and even straight up misgendering and transphobia aimed at transmascs are acceptable too, because everyone I've seen using them repeatedly and stating their hatred for transmascs has been either marked green or occasionally unrated.

Great, but it seems people are abusing it as there is no method to provide context or clues as to why someone has been marked the way they are. I've seen some creators marked incorrectly, or they've been changed multiple times.

Great concept, usually works however, filters most hyperlinks based on which site it's from rather then the content of a specific url. Also, I feel like most of the filtering works internationally but doesn't work at a national level like for example in the uk, britain first and reform uk (2 very fascist British political parties) aren't listed as either negative or positive and I noticed the same with most political parties in other countries like with the republican party in the US. Ig I just think this is an amazing extension that just needs a lot more work done on it. Btw these problems might mainly to do with search results cus I use the reddit app and I rarely use tumblr and I never use Twitter or Facebook and I've not tested this extension on YouTube or Wikipedia yet tbh.
As a trans woman I really appreciate the extension tho especially how every bbc article is red. I would've really appreciated this before I attended trans pride then realised that they only gave trans pride one sentence the day after and on an article about a fascist protest with 100x less ppl but that's a little side note, dude stop judging me I have adhd and its 1am.

Moderation seems inconsistent, you can almost always trust a red flag but I've had issues with what I'd consider false positives for green flags.

Hi, I'm transfemme. "Theyfab" is an anti-trans slur and we should not play into patriarchal transmisia by not treating it as such. I'll change my review if you fix this. I'm friends with many people affected by this slur and it's silly and divisive to not treat it as such. Trans people don't all hate each other because we came from different backgrounds and have different genders- that's just overemphasized internet drama, not real life. I gave all my old masculine clothes to a friend affected by this slur, and I don't feel comfortable not treating it as a slur. A word that bioessentializes someone's AGAB as their gender is absolutely the definition of transphobia and constitutes a slur. This is like basic transfeminism 101.
