"Appropriating women's language in a way that harms real women is not okay" y'all are so desperate to be TERF's

"appropriating language" says the community who stole and rebranded multiple intersex terms. Intersex individuals are not the ones appropriating

Went out of my way to defend this extension when it seemed like people might have been misunderstanding how it works & using that as reason to conclude the developer was using it as a weapon in intracommunity discourse... only to find out that they're literally in the reviews hashing out that exact same discourse in real time.

Whatever. I can look past some cringy behavior as long as it isn't crossing over into the actual functionality of this tool.

So question for the developer: are you actually taking any use of "AFAB trans women", regardless of context, as reason for flagging someone as anti-trans? Are you taking someone's dislike for the term "theyfab" as reason for marking them anti-trans? Where is the line, exactly; not for you personally, but in the moderation of the extension?

started finding more and more trans people marked as red, discovered it was not because of terf attacks, but because the people behind the extension are intersexist and transphobic themselves. oh, and look, they're in the reviews arguing with people! fantastic. don't waste your time with this extension. it's garbage.

A once pretty great add-on that is now useless for it's main purpose, seeing that red "transphobic" label is being erroneously (or perhaps even purposely by the devs) attached to intersex people, people advocating for intersex rights, trans-mascs, and even some of the trans advocates this add-on claims to help platform.

Unless there's a massive change in ownership (assuming this concept is even worth humoring) you'd be better off just reading up on potential dog-whistles and looking into the accounts yourself, as apposed to letting this biased add-on tell you who it thinks is worth listening too.

Not only is this extension being used to target intersex and some trans activists, but the developer has been making incredibly intersexist responses to reviews. Policing the labels that intersex people use to describe themselves is completely unacceptable and absolutely shameful from someone claiming to want to create a safer online space for all trans people. Using a label for yourself that fits your experience does not "force" anyone to label themself a certain way, as the developer says. The developer has also likened intersex activists to TERFs because of labels they are using FOR THEMSELVES to describe their personal experience. I am uninstalling this add-on and will be advising friends to do the same. I only hope the developer reads this and decides to educate themself on intersex issues and how their actions have harmed an already oppressed community.

Used to be decent. But while the developers claim to support intersex people they are ignorant and bigoted and have not educated themselves.

I read the developers responses to some recent poor reviews and wanted to respond. the existence of afab transfems does not force any trans person to use their agab. Using amab or afab is a personal choice. No one is owned someone's assigned gender. It literally feels like a lame excuse to mark intersex queers as anti trans.

People who have not been marked red before are being marked red when they post about intersex and transmasc issues. The responses to other comments aren't actually explaining whats happening proving the creator doesn't actually care about it.

Extension is prone to misuse and has started marking trans friendly users and transphobic which makes this extension basically useless to its purpose.

Incredibly transphobic extension, does not work as described.

Was never one to take SE at face value without looking into someone myself but its clear at this point the extension can not be trusted. Its blatantly being misused and the people running it are actively harmful to the community they claim to protect. Several openly transphobic and intersexist positions have been championed by them and I can no longer support this app in any capacity, as a trans woman.

Unfortunately has become completely useless do to intersexist and transmasc-exclusionary moderation. None of us are free til ALL of us are free.

This was good right up until the creators decided that they don't want to understand intersectional feminism, which is deeply disappointing to see. Come /on/.

this was pretty good a while ago but now people get marked red for talking about issues affecting transmasc and intersex folks. also seen a lot of green names being hateful towards transmasc, intersex, and nonbinary people. at this point the extension is mostly just useful for identifying people who talk about gender sometimes

Claims to highlight the difference between transphobic and trans-friendly social pages, fails to do much more than mark people who are vocal about trans issues. Consistently falsely marks trans and intersex people as transphobic for discussing their existences. Feeds into intracommunity divides and has lost any use it has. Only bother to use this extension if you care about whose vocal on trans issues AND you want to do the leg work for yourself to see if they're actually transphobic or not.

This extension has become so useless. People will be marked red for speaking about intersex and transmasc issues while green users will spout the most transphobic shit possible.

uninclusive and hateful moderators. many examples of people being marked red or green for things blatantly against the spirit of the extension and these markings being approved.

This extension has become a tool for transphobia, intersexism, and exorsexism and can no longer be used to accurately determine who is transphobic and who is not. I've seen people marked green who have said some of the most transphobic stuff about other trans people, and people marked red for simply being intersex or speaking about their own experiences.
I've scrolled through the reviews recently and seen some of the developer feedback which only cements the fact that this is not a useful extension. A slur invented by cis people is still a slur no matter how it's used, and is not on par with things like "binary trans woman". And the complete lack of understanding of intersex identities with regards to "afab transfems" is just honestly disgusting. The developers of this extension are clearly trying to be the arbiters of what is and isn't allowed in the trans community and that is never a good thing.
Don't trust this extension, it's a waste of your time: you're better off vetting people the old fashioned way, which is what many people who have used the extension have had to do for years now.
This is no longer used as a tool to help the trans community but rather divide it.

Edit: a recent 5-star review: "thank god the devs are finally cracking down on transandrophobia truthers. it's time we finally kick misogynistic trans men out of the trans community for good."
These are the types of people that are abusing this extension and the types of people the dev's values are in line with. These people do not want other trans people different than them who talk about their own experiences in terms they don't like, to be in community with them. This is the type of transphobic vitriol this extension enables, and it needs to stop.
Don't use it, and instead make your own informed decisions about who you wish to block or interact with.

"... The dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor" - Paulo Freire

Used to be a useful add-on but the developers have fallen into inter-community discourse and shown themselves to harbor intersexist and anti-transmasc sentiments. This includes but is in no way limited to: not seeing using use of "theyfabs" (a term to mock afab nonbinary people) as transphobic, labeling intersex users as transphobic for speaking out against intersexism, and generally denying that afab trans people can face targeted harassment.

Post-script: yeah no looks like the dev only cares about transphobia that harms trans women and is intersexist as well.
