While it was never 100% accurate, the current state of the extension is pretty dire. I appreciate that it can be logistically difficult or even impossible to manually verify every report, as well as emotionally draining, but letting it remain in this a confusing and potentially defamatory state is worse than it not existing at all. The young trans people I support in a queer youth group are pessimistic enough about life already without being made to be paranoid about things they needn't be or tricked into viewing potentially traumatic content as a result of a poorly moderated extension.

Transphobes famously spend almost all of their free time trolling anything remotely related to being trans online, you cannot run something like this without having safeguards in place to prevent interfernece. I sympathise, but I think it's time to admit that it's become too big for you to manage and to retire the extension. It's kinder than allowing people to believe it will give them any kind of control over their online experience and being let down.

My 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".

Used 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.

in 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

how 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.

This is an abusive extension that marked my trans activist friend as transphobic and some transphobe i know as GREEN

While 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.

while this works fine on other sites, on social medias it has become completely unusable. violent TERFs are marked green, while intersex activists or transmasculine people are marked red. i've seen people be marked green while saying they wish for the corrective r*pe of trans men or are advocating for the coercive correction of intersex people. absolute insanity. this extension does nothing but to stroke the egos of violent transphobes at this point.

Stop marking intersex people as transphobic jfc

Flags trans and intersex people as red. It clearly has bias against anyone who speaks out against transandrophobia and intersexism.

this extension is openly anti-ftm, anti-intersex, and anti-black. routinely flags actual trans people while transphobes are marked green. also does not tell you why someone is marked red or green.

Transphobic devs that exclude intersex/FtM people.
it's also just inaccurate as shit.
Doesn't tell you why somebody was marked red, either.

It used to be useful, but at this point so many trans folks (including trans feminine people and trans women!) are marked as red these days. The red markers tend to skew toward trans masculine or intersex people, and often crypto-terfs will mark themselves as green. All this does is cause confusion.

Ultimately this needs better moderation, and, preferably, a way to mark individual authors, contributors, and individuals instead of entire news sources or websites. It's kind of jarring to see an article about trans resources marked as red solely because it's on a website that was deemed wholly transphobic, rather than the individual authors of the articles.

Doesn't seem to work? Claims to detect antitrans sentiments, routinely does not do that, flags transgender people as antitrans for speaking about their experiences with transitioning. Is this some kind of fake app/virus?

Before this review, I'd like to say that I still use this extension, I just manually review people that I see marked as any color before making any judgements on a person.

Lately, this extension has taken a HUGE downfall on the quality of flags- most users I see marked as red are intersex activists or folks that talk about transandrophobia. Whilst I don't have much to talk about either of these matters, what bugs me is that people talking about these matters in positive OR negative light are being falsely flagged as red, despite being trans-friendly in the traditional sense- supporting trans people across the entire spectrum of gender.

I think until a user is being actively transphobic, I.E mis/disgendering people, using transphobic slurs as derogatory slurs, or sharing misinformation about trans people and their experiences, they shouldn't be marked as red. Disagree all you want on what terms are real and fake, but don't let it cloud your sense of judgement- they're still an ally to transgenderism, however that may be.

You can personally tag and change the red/green markers, but the ones shown to the public are manually reviewed by people with a bias towards transmedicalism. On non-socialmedia sites, it is useful. Everywhere else, it is not.

Too many people are getting false-flagged--it's now more an extension for transphobes to smear trans people with than actually warning you about transphobes.
