This used to be a convenient community tool for checking the vibes of people (more specifically, whether they like trans people), but over the past year or so it seems to have been caught up in some sort of gender infighting that basically amounts to "white trans women vs bipoc trans women, trans men, nonbinary people, and intersex people". Don't get me wrong, transmisogyny is a real issue and is quite pervasive. But telling white trans women to stop being racist towards black trans women is not transmisogyny, and calling trans men "zippertits" is objectively transphobia. It's very strange that this tool that was once explicitly claiming to protect *trans people* has now shifted to only protect white women.

sad to see what was once a useful tool go down the drain as the current developers attack the voices of intersex people and other trans people. i have seen some of my friends wrongfully marked by this extension despite being trans themselves and never once spouting hateful rhetoric for their trans siblings.

I don't know what's more useless, the flagging of trans men, non binary people, and intersex people; or the flagging of the wikipedia page on the catholic church

Past the point of being helpful

What used to be a SOMEWHAT reliable tool for quickly getting the general vibe became a source of the same bigotry it claimed to insulate from as the people running it revealed their true colours. At this point this is more likely to put trans people at risk of trusting actual abusers than give anyone an actual warning. Disgusting.

Utterly shameful knowing what the developers are actually using this extension for.

Tagged a bunch of my friends who are trans as red, and at least one truscum as green. I think that tells me everything I need to know about it

Used to use this extension years ago, but noticed that it had started flagging trans-friendly people as red while flagging transphobic people as green.

Most of the time the trans-friendly people it has flagged as red will be either transmasc, nonbinary, or intersex people.
While it will flag people who are transandrophobic, nbphobic, or intersexist as green.

So now the extension is completely useless and is obviously being ran by people who only care for transfemme people/issues and sees anyone talking about the issues other groups in the community experience as a """threat""" or something.

There is a reason why ths extension has gotten so many 1 star reviews and it has nothing to do with transmisogyny despite what some people say, and everything to do with the extension being used to spread hate towards those of us who aren't transfemme or dare to speak about non-transfemme trans issues.

It is causing further divide in our community, and thus deserves all of these 1 star reviews.

people who are intersex, transmasc, and nonbinary but aren't fem have often been marked as transphobic for speaking on their experiences. if you're not fem and/or you're intersex, you're transphobic, in their eyes. which is transphobic, sexist, and intersexist all in one.

down with radfems.

Just like the other reviews say, I've seen multiple trans-friendly people be marked as red for speaking about trans men, nonbinary people, intersex people, and everyone who doesn't stick to the binary. It's a shame that an add-on that's supposed to help LGBTQ+ people has turned into just another way to fuel infighting and oppress our siblings further.

per the other reviews; the devs started using this tool to mark trans men as transphobic, for because they're trans men. do not use

The devs of this extension have gone rouge and are marking pro-trans people and pages as anti-trans and vice versa for incredibly bigoted reasons as noted by other reviews here, on the page for the chrome version of this addon and issues on the github page where definitive proof has been linked. Please do not use it.

the current owners of the addon are transandrophobic interseixst exorsexist radfem aholes


i got marked as red on a sideblog.. just for being transmasc!?!? 😂😂😂

interesting that my main blog hasnt been marked as red when i literally rb stuff about transmasc issues/transandrophobia experiences....

this could have been great... what a disappointment.

This has gone from a useful add-on to one that marks anyone who talks about transphobia outside of a very narrow white-centric transfem focused band as transphobic. Its disappointing, and saddening to see

i really like shinigami eyes..... when its not used to call trans and intersex people transphobic. i cannot tell you how many times ive seen someone marked as trans unfriendly on tumblr and then i check their account and its because theyre talking about the issues that trans and intersex people face within queer spaces, and then people who are openly transmisogynistic wont be marked at all. its so ridiculous and the extension is barely useful now. i dont want to be reblogging shit from cryptoterfs and plain old bigots without realizing and spreading their blog to more people, but now i still have to go digging to see if theyre actually transphobic or if theyre just being dogpiled

Ironically transphobic against trans men and intersex people and silences them. There is no hate campaign, trans men and Intersex people are being silenced for speaking out on being oppressed. That is textbook transphobia.

I'm a transfem who primarily uses this on tumblr. This plugin used to be great for sniffing out transphobes, but lately I've found myself having to double-check whether pages are marked red correctly or not, because more often than not they're not actually transphobes and are just users who are intersex or transmasc and speaking up about their experiences. This plugin is being used to fuel inter-community strife that benefits no one and makes us all weaker. I know it's transfem users and transfem moderators who are doing this, and frankly I'm pretty disappointed in my sisters. If we can't stick together in times like these, when we're in the most danger we've been in since the 1930s, it's no wonder our rights lag behind everyone else in the acronym.

I've had Shinigami Eyes installed on my browsers for almost the past decade, and in its early years it was extremely helpful for rooting out radfems and the like. Unfortunately, over the past year or so there's been so many false flags, especially against trans men, that the extension is practically useless. The guidelines do state that being trans does not exempt someone from transphobia, yet people are being flagged red for talking about basically any aspect of transphobia and intersex experiences other than transmisogyny, while actual TERFs and other transphobes have been marked green. It's honestly kind of sad to see how far this extension has fallen
