I've used this extension for years. It's been pretty useful, but lately the flaws have become too rampant to ignore.

A large number of people have been mistagged, with rabidly transphobic authors being marked as trans-friendly (often due to them having been reasonably trans-positive in the past) and people who aren't reasonably able to be described as bigots being marked as transphobic. Of note is that r/XenogendersAndMore is still tagged as transphobic, which is an issue that has been known for years and hasn't been fixed.

This leads me to believe that this extension simply isn't being maintained at all. Any kind of review process that may have once existed clearly no longer does. I'm not sure if it's because the developers got overwhelmed, or just abandoned the project, or whatever, but it appears that there's just no accuracy checking occurring anymore, outside of sheer mass of reports.

Given that, I can simply no longer recommend using this extension. With a lack of any kind of maintenance, quality checking, or anything else to ensure that tags stay accurate, it is far too open to abuse and will likely continue to decline in usefulness.

its far from flawless. but its nowhere near as bad as the low reviews make it seem; it remains one of the most useful extensions i have

important note: its extremely important to remember that some people may be transphobic but attempt to appear trans-friendly on the surface, which is what the review-bombings are getting wrong (it seems they rather burn down a useful tool then accept that trans people can still be transphobic, even if coated in progressive language).

it's been co-opted by racists to put down black trans women who speak up about white trans women fyi.

intersexist bullshit lmao

Do not trust anyone saying the red marks are "deserved". All these so called transmisogynists do not actually hate trans women, theyre targeting ppl who talk abt transandrophobia and enbyphobia or whoever dares to criticize ppl who hate trans men and enbies and call them slurs, which sometimes applies to trans women. This is not "transmisogyny" as I see people mismarked all the time, and actual terfs and known rapists marked as green. Stop watering down what transmisogyny is, speaking as a transfem myself

cannot overstate how disappointing it is to see how many users flagged green say the words theyfab and p**ner in a derogatory way. even without the discourse these words are transphobic and the extension is not doing its intended function.

Easily manipulated, inaccurate, and frequently inaccurately marks marginalized people as transphobic, while marking TERFs as friendly. Just use your judgement.

works well :3

Used to be reliable, until it became a total infighting mess. I keep seeing people using actual slurs against transmascs and nonbinary people being marked green.

used to be pretty useful as a baseline, but as others have said, either through little moderation and bigotry of certain users, or bigotry of the mod team itself, various transmasculine, intersex, and nonbinary people, alongside anyone vocally supportive of them, have been getting marked as transphobic, which is really not a precedent you want to set on a supposedly trans-friendly addon. steer clear.

It still works mostly as intended. Green links can be hit or miss but red links are accurate 100% of the time in my experience. The 1 star reviews are just mad people are actually starting to get called out on their transmisogyny.

TL;DR badly run and overrun with radfems and other bigots who hate transmascs and intersex people (and transfems too, i'd argue). not worth dealing with unless you think transmascs are the source of all oppression.

rules are too vague and often don't make sense. too community run with no oversight so random people get dogpiled and marked as bigots for personal beef. generally very useless. doesn't seem to have any admin running it, as very big figures who are known bigots have never been marked as transphobes but small tumblr accounts are, even if they aren't actually bigoted.

generally not a well run addon. also i don't like the lack of colors. tends to glitch out text but thats probably a compat. issue with other addons. kinda just sucks when you should just use your brain to decipher if someone has damaging beliefs instead of trusting god knows who. there is nothing stopping anyone from targeting people they don't like.

Used to be a legitimate tool at one point then people started using it for interpersonal beef.
I'll scroll an entire blog/website marked red, not see a single thing indicative of transphobia, and I'm left only able to assume some random person just didn't like them. Radfems/cryptoterfs though? Blank, apparently no one can be bothered to mark those.
Good job "rooting the transmisogynists out of the community" which apparently includes every intersex person alive. And keep doubling down it's making us look so smart.

Witnessed a significant number of instances recently of people being marked green while actively misgendering trans people, calling them slurs etc. and people being marked red despite the exact opposite behaviour. Not fit for purpose outside of certain public figures whose positions are already very obvious.

Ignore the 1 stars, people are not getting marked red for supporting trans men, they are getting marked red for being transmisogynists. it is entirely possible to support trans men and not being a transmisogynist, if you are marked red then you could learn that methinks.

in short, extension works as intended

Completely useless. Every trans user I come across is false flagged as 'anti-trans.' Is there zero moderation on this thing? It's lost all functionality. I go to their profiles and there's obviously not a single transphobic post.
