- Rated 1 out of 5by valkyrie64, a month agoUnfortunately has become completely useless do to intersexist and transmasc-exclusionary moderation. None of us are free til ALL of us are free.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lui, a month agoThis 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/.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Nova, a month agoI really like the idea the extension is going for and it's helped a ton in blocking hundreds of your garden variety TERFs without needing to scroll their profiles for long, but I wouldn't rely on it. There's trans-friendly profiles marked red and mass-blocked because someone just has it out for them, and profiles marked green but every other post of theirs is insulting (or worse) any trans person they dislike. I'd just be careful and glance at people's accounts first before hitting the block or follow button.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wwheek, a month agothis 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
- Rated 1 out of 5by tzippo, a month agoClaims 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by prism, a month agoThis 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Riley, a month agouninclusive 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by waugh, a month agoThis 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18703542, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by teddydoesntlivehereanymore, a month agoUsed 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by computerfan, a month agoi would rate this extension at zero stars if i could. i've seen so many trans queer people marked red on here that it's just unreliable and useless. everytime i see a name marked as being transphobic i have to go check their blog because half the time it's just a trans man or intersex person talking about stuff they experience. not even mentioning trans women or misogyny! and those that do don't discredit it, because YES it is a real issue!
i'm not ignorant, so i don't deny that transmisogyny is a real issue, but claiming its the only "serious" form of transphobia is dishonest. trans men and intersex people are killed and assaulted too. NONE OF US deserve that.
i'm sick of having my experiences mocked and being called transphobic for experiencing transphobia or even implying that other trans men or intersex folk experience transphobia too. instead of creating a helpful tool to help queer people stay safe online, you've created a tool that only spreads division and hate between transfems, transmascs, and intersex people of any gender.
even putting trans-ness aside. women aren't inherently any better than men. we are all equal human beings and the transandrophobia debate you continue to perpetuate only benefits conservatives and people who want all of us forcibly detransitioned or exterminated. trans men deserve love. trans women deserve love. people of all agabs and identities deserve love. and we ALL deserve language to talk about the hardships we experience.
stop downplaying people's struggles. division is not the answer. love each other while you still can. it's our only hope for a brighter future 🏳️⚧️💙 - Rated 1 out of 5by Mx_T4t0, a month agoExtremely disappointed with the team for marking trans men and intersex people as transphobic for talking about their struggles with transphobia and/or intersexism. It's also quite hurtful to see the official website pushing the term "theyfab" as not all that harmful as though it has ever been anything other than a slur made to mock feminine nonbinary people. I expected better from an extension meant to help trans people stay safe online.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Horsesofcourses, a month agoThe actions of denying language and ability to form community speak louder than any claims of welcomeness. No one is forcing anyone to use language besides the owner forcing others. I used to use this for years, started when it first became a chrome extension, but it has become completely unreliable more recently
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18703024, a month agoI have been using this for several years now, it's been incredibly useful. It's also nice having a resource made by trans women who take transmisogyny seriously. I've found that to be a rare thing and increasingly more uncommon. Thank you for your service.

- Rated 1 out of 5by interfreak, a month agoIntersex transfems who are AFAB do not literally call themselves AFAB transfems in their bios, but they do sometimes talk about their transition, and not allowing them to do so & calling them terfs for existing is intersexist. Intersex people's bodies do not align with the male/female binary. That's literally the point of the word intersex. Someone AFAB could have a body that has more male traits than female traits (for lack of better wording), within the intersex community we sometimes use CTF (close to F) or CTM (close to M) to describe our bodies. Every intersex transfem AFAB I have met has described herself as being CTM and is transitioning in a very similar way to your typical transfem. Some intersex AFAB people are literally reassigned male during childhood, often at puberty. It isn't transphobic for their voices to be heard. This all goes for cistrans/transcis intersex people, transfemmasc intersex people, exparium intersex people, or whatever else intersex identity exclusionists have decided is a "troll identity,,
And these people existing doesn't force you to call yourself AMAB. In fact, the intersex community generally avoids AGAB terminology because it's been made reductive and useless by perisex people who think it means anything related to biology. It isn't us who put so much emphasis on AGAB to the point people feel pressured to disclose it when talking about our identity. That's your (perisex people generally I mean) fault.
I won't deny that TERFs have co-opted the intersex experience of transfeminine people AFAB. I've seen it. Alongside 'biotrans' (which is actually just TERF shit and not co-opted from any actual real community.) You all fail to recognize that refusing to acknowledge TERF co-opting of intersex issues is just as intersexist as it is for the TERFs to co-opt our issues in the first place. Stop throwing us under the bus and stop letting horrible bigots speak over us and use us against other marginalized people. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13165002, a month agothis extension has become increasingly hostile to transmascs and intersex people speaking out about their problems, falsely marking them as anti-trans. The developers repeatedly respond to any critique of this behavior with a canned response that ignores the problem and denies responsibility for their moderation of the extension to such a severe degree that it has made me go from believing there was some mistake to believing that it's the result of deliberate malice.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18702342, a month agoThis extension used to be vital to navigating social media for TERFs, alt-right groups, etc. but now accounts that are inclusive of marginalized identities, that highlight discrimination faced by trans men, that are run by intersex individuals, etc. are being marked red while accounts discriminating against trans people but apparently not in a "serious enough" way (using "theyfab," ie deciding nonbinary individuals aren't trans enough) won't be marked red.
Using the latter issue as an example, it's disheartening, disappointing, and genuinely dangerous to have someone marked as green/pro-trans while allowing them to discriminate against nonbinary identities--marking an account as a safe entity or space for me to interact with as they are actively discriminating against my own identity.
And this--allowing accounts spouting harmful, exclusionary, discriminatory rhetoric to continue to be marked as green or neutral--in conjunction with marking people encouraging inclusivity and understanding, those oftentimes speaking about their own identities and experiences, as red has rendered the extension not only useless but antithetical to its original purpose. - Rated 1 out of 5by Nixkat, a month agoThis add-on isn't useful for any trans people that aren't perisex transwomen. And actively allows trans people who aren't perisex transwomen to be marked as transphobic for just discussing our own specific forms of oppression.
Also, people can remain marked green even if they are actively bigoted towards trans people who aren't perisex transwomen or racist towards trans people of color.
Therefore it's not terribly useful if you want to know who's safe or not if yer trans but not the intended demographic of perisex transwoman.
Also, the developers' responses towards people pointing these problems out is a very good tell that they're actively bigoted as well and do not give a shit about any trans people that arent just perisex transwomen.
* Edit: The developers literally are so fucking intersexist they are calling basically every intersex person who uses terms that describe their experiences with terminology fit for them to be TERFs.
Don't use this extension if you aren't a perisex trans woman, it's modded by bigots who are actively intersexist and transphobic towards all other trans people.Developer response

Just don't use "AFAB trans woman", as it forces trans women to use "AMAB" or "male", aligning your goal with that of TERFs. - Rated 1 out of 5by ostrichinanouthouse, a month agoNot actually doing its job properly in marking transphobic persons as red and trans friendly persons as green anymore. Posting the same canned response to reviews discussing this issue is not helpful.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dante, a month agoI love shinigami eyes, but the abuse of it to mislabel transmasculine people and intersex activists as anti trans is disgusting.
