- Rated 1 out of 5by Lifeeternal, 17 hours agoRemoved my review for saying the devs hate transgender men and this app has been misused to mark transgender men, nonbinary people, and intersex people as red (antitrans). I can pull reciepts. I'm not playing around anymore, I'll keep putting my review back, or pursue legal action. Not a joke. Imagine dividing the trans community by lumping us in with terfs solely because we're not letting angry trans women bully us for things the cis patriarchy is doing to ALL OF US. Hypocrites. Edit: Also, if a trans woman disagrees with how people are talking about trans men, they've also been marked red. so. Edit 2: and don't call me a man if this is screenshotted or god forbid reported. Not one. Not AFAB either. Try again!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ash the Yggdrasil, a day agoHello. I am transfeminine. I ask you read this review before continuing to read any others.
Many of the people rating this as "five stars" claim transmisogyny and "review bombing."
It is not review bombing. Most, if not all, of the one-star reviews are valid concerns and I have witnessed the things the one-star reviews are talking about with my own eyes. The people giving out one star reviews are not being transmisogynist. The fact that my own sisters in the trans community will claim such of people actually having grievances and struggles of their own is a fact that disgusts me.
Most of the one-star reviews are discussing experiencing "transandrophobia," intersexism, and even racism at the hands of the developers of this extension. They speak of many people being completely, unfairly, and unjustly marked red, and I have seen this happening more and more often, and I find more and more people being marked green purely on the basis of being a trans woman.
This is actually a one-star review, but I wanted to put this here to challenge the people in the 5-star section having the disgusting gall to call our trans siblings "transmisogynist" for the mere fact that they are not trans women themselves.
And if one such reviewer is reading this...
Do better. I know you can. Fix your hearts. - Rated 5 out of 5by emdru, 2 days agofuck transmisogynists, fuck birthday boys, transmisandry isn't real, transandrophobia isn't real, ty for making this app better for transfems <3
- Rated 1 out of 5by mimiuwuo7, 2 days agoI used to have this installed on all of my browsers, however recently I had to uninstall it because I've noticed an uptick in the intersex activists I've followed being marked red for the crime of..? Talking about how their experiences fall outside of the expected binary. The group targeting of people whos experiences fall outside of a specific framework sincerely horrifies me. It's really disappointing, because a year ago this app was genuinely rather helpful, but now it seems like it's just being used to cause further infighting in certain sects of the community.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Orange, 4 days agoI loved this for a long time, but frankly more and more the people I see appearing red are people I don't feel are justified for it. This extension amplifies the "us vs them" mentality that is currently splitting the trans community and it's getting out of hands.
I see genuinely good people, trans girls, getting marked red just because they have the very radical opinion that "hey maybe intersex people have their own struggles and we should leave them have a place to express it without giving them hate".
I also see intersex people, who root frequently FOR trans people (including trans woman) be red just because they talk about their struggle which are different than the ones of trans woman.
And finally, almost just being a trans masc gets you marked red. I don't really get it. I see trans guys just minding their own business, doing their own things, marked red. Very often.
This isn't what the extension should be used for. - Rated 5 out of 5by smile365, 5 days agothe people complaining about "false flags" are simply mad they can't get away with transmisogyny on the basis of also being trans anymore.
- Rated 1 out of 5by dingosaurus, 6 days agoLike many of the other people in the reviews, I've noticed that there has been a huge surge of of people marked red falsely--almost all of them transmasculine in some fashion.
This addon has become completely useless. It'd need a complete wipe of the database and a team of people working to actually review flags before allowing them through to make it helpful again, which is an enormous commitment. I'm honestly shocked there wasn't already some sort of system in place to prevent this given how easy it'd be for something like a transphobic 4chan raid to completely throw it off if they found out about it. It's disappointing hateful subsets of the trans community seem to have gotten there first but it really should have been expected, operating on the faith system is incredibly reckless when it comes to the online safety of vulnerable communities.
Youse need to either commit to doing better, or honestly you need to remove the app. It's actively harmful. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18095871, 6 days agoIt's very sad what this extension has become. It used to be helpful, but now it's being used as a weapon against certain trans people and it's impossible to tell whether a red link means an actual transphobe, or if it means a trans activist that whomever runs Shinigami Eyes - or the masses sending in reports - personally disagrees with on the details of that activism. Very disappointing things went this way. Uninstalling, of course.
- Rated 1 out of 5by AD, 6 days agoIn the beginning this seemed like a good idea with mostly only the community knowing about it but then terfs started using it to hunt down blogs and social media accounts, now all I see are people I know getting flagged despite their support for trans/LGBT people. Either it's terfs taking over the flagging system defeating the purpose of shinigami eyes or a change in the userbase on what they consider trans-friendly. I appreciate the help it gave in the beginning but won't be using it anymore
- Rated 1 out of 5by 30-wolves-in-a-trenchcoat, 7 days agoUnfortunately this is useless for filtering out terfs, because while it does an okay job at identifying obvious Anti-Trans people, it also marks TONS of clearly trans positive trans and intersex people as "Anti-Trans" for really ridiculous reasons.
Mostly it seems to target trans and intersex people that use contradictory labels (or seemingly contradictory labels) for themselves. I don't think it's a great idea to assume how someone thinks about trans people based on the words they use. Since terfs co-opt our terms ALL THE F-ing time.
At this point the extension is no longer a thing that keeps the trans community safe online, but instead a thing that divides us. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ry, 7 days agoThis extension used to be good, until it was abused to mark trans people of colour, transmascs, and intersex people as transphobic for no good reason
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15779913, 7 days agoNobody follows the guidelines. All it takes to get marked as trans-friendly is to say something like"trans people are okay" and to be marked anti-trans all you gotta do is piss off a specific group of people on tumblr. Used to be good but most of the time I ignore it because it's utterly useless. Besides, transphobes don't tend to hide anymore...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Julia, 11 days agoThis extension works perfectly; I have yet to see someone be marked incorrectly by it. Many people who get marked red get pissy about it and claim to be "incorrectly" marked red, but I have yet to see one who actually treats transgender women with a modicum of respect.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Galius, 12 days agoTransfem here, thought the plug-in was useful and was pretty enthusiastic about it, but a quick glance at the reviews has soured our opinion on it. Based on everything being said, we can't believe that this is just "review bombing" or genuine cases of everyone being marked being genuinely "transphobic and trans."
And yeah, unjustified hate against others in our community actually just hurts us too, girlies, funny how that works. It actually just imposes more rules and guidelines on how we're allowed to express ourselves and live, just that it comes from "our own side" this time.
Anyways yeah, sadly wouldn't recommend this plugin, end of story. - Rated 1 out of 5by taylor, 12 days agoUsed to be actually useful but I guess most of the people who care enough to use the "tag as anti/pro-trans" feature are just discourse-rotted terminally online people who mistag people who literally Aren't transphobic as anti-trans. What a dissapointment.
- Rated 2 out of 5by laser-rat, 12 days agoshinigami eyes used to be a very good tool, but lately i've noticed a Lot of trans-supportive (and even themselves trans) intersex activists falsely marked as red. at first i thought these were just a few isolated incidents, but it just keeps happening. if you do decide to use this add-on, make sure to check if the blogs that are marked red are actually transphobic or not, since it's unfortunately not as reliable anymore as it used to be. personally i am going to stop using it for the time being because this is just getting ridiculous
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kal, 13 days agoThis extension used to be quite good. It was very helpful in determining whether a site or a user was safe to be openly trans on, but recently it has taken a nosedive. Trans friendly blogs are repeatedly being marked as anti trans simply because the person running said blog is either intersex, a sex worker, or trans masc. This is an issue that has been brought up numerous times, and yet nothing has been fixed.
I don't recommend using this extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by Harley, 13 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by sciencings, 13 days agoDamn shame this extension is no longer usable. Used to be great, but now "being trans the wrong way" is transphobic, I guess?
