The people complaining about this extension being "intersexist" or "transphobic against anyone besides trans women" are angry that their intersexuality or transness does not give them a free pass to harass or echo TWERF rhetoric at trans women (or identify with TERF labels like "AFAB transfem"). You are not exempt from being transphobic or transmisogynistic just because you are intersex or trans. Cry about it.

This extension is fine for the most part (there are false flags but they're not to the extent that people think, all you have to do is reflag them). The review bomb campaign aims to take yet another tool trans women use to keep themselves safe, away. Just like they try to do with everything. Just ask any of these 1 star reviewers what they think of the terms TME/TMA.

This used to be good, but over the past few years, some transmisogynists from KiwiFarms have been using it to mark and harass trans people for the crimes of either also being furries or not transitioning out of fear of government persecution. If we don't accept them harassing us with terms like cissexual or their anti-furry nonsense, we're called tr**ns or whatever other slur they happen to think of that day.

Don't trust the 1-star reviews lol. 100% of them are trans MRAs who are mad that they were flagged for transmisogyny. Of course you should always do your own research and not trust an extension to do all the work for you, but 10 times outta 10, searching dogwhistles like "transandrophobia" on the blogs of these people whining "false flag!" will bring up a litany of transmisogyny. Stay mad, TMEs.

many of these one star reviews are incredibly misleading. often times, people who are "wrongly" labeled unsafe are hateful towards trans women, or refuse to acknowledge the privilege trans men have over them. they will launch harassment campaigns at innocent trans women for daring to be frustrated with how they are treated by those unaffected by transmisogyny. they are labeled unsafe for a reason.

has been helpful to no end in avoiding transphobia online, most 1 star reviews are seemingly from accounts that have unknowingly posted transmisogynistic content and received a warning label as such

went from a tool you could somehow trust in spotting trans positive and transphobic accounts/websites to a transphobic tool itself. i just wonder when exactly you decidet to turn against your own comunity , this is really sad

It'd be great if it worked, but it's pretty clear that it doesn't if you go to the tags terfsafe and transandrophobia on tumblr (under "latest" to get the most variety of posters). About 5% of the posters in the terfsafe tag, at an absolute maximum, are marked red, but 30-50% of the posters in the transandrophobia tag are marked red. For reference, transandrophobia is the word used to discuss the unique oppression, discrimination, and experiences that trans men and transmasculine folks face.

I didn't think to check intersex tags, but I've noticed quite a few intersex people I follow are also marked red despite there being absolutely nothing warranting it on their blogs.

So disappointed.

I've used Shinigami Eyes on Firefox for several years, beginning around 2020 or 2021. Since then, I've seen a notable shift in the kinds of users marked as anti-trans and trans-friendly on social platforms, most notably Tumblr.

This extension, for what it is worth, is still largely helpful when browsing online to identify public figures, media outlets, and other organizations that platform anti-trans rhetoric by marking articles, news websites, and even Wikipedia pages. This is something that this extension still does well.

However, when it comes to social platform users in queer online spaces, the kinds of users marked anti-trans have completely changed. While an official guide to who should or should not be marked red on Shinigami Eyes, this guideline no longer appears to be relevant. In the past, users were marked pretty reliably based on these rules: someone must be visibly anti-trans and/or a transmisogynist. Today, it appears that users who outwardly support transfeminine (and other trans individuals regardless of identity) are still at risk of being marked anti-trans if they speak against bioessentialism (an emphasis on someone's clinical "s*x") or speak on concerns relating to intersexism. This is strange to me, as transgender and intersex individuals face similar (NOT identical, but overlapping) issues regarding medical autonomy and civil rights.

It seems like the system of Shinigami Eyes is now primarily used to indicate that intersex and otherly-sexed individuals and activists are inherently transmisogynist. I recommend that users who use Shinigami Eyes be extra cautious in vetting who is or is not anti-trans as the extension stands today.

Not a trans person myself, but this used to be a good litmus test especially when posting in spaces with a lot of trans people. But now half of the red accounts I see are just trans people getting friendly fired over nothing. Pretty much pointless now.

it used to be fine, but nowadays it marks trans men and nonbinary people with red more frequently than transphobes, as well as trans women who speak up on the behalf of trans men and nonbinary people. You're better off avoiding shinigami eyes altogether.

I've used this extension for many years as a trans woman always on the lookout for who might not be so friendly towards people like me, and for a while it was pretty good.

That's all changed dramatically within the last year. I began recently to notice just how many pages and people and websites were obviously false-flagged as transphobic by the extension, despite clear and overwhelming support for non-cis identities and no record of transphobia to be found. Even the LGBTQIA+ wiki and Pride Flag wiki were being flagged.

And that's when I learned that its creator is a transmedicalist who hates trans men, intersex people, neopronoun users, and people with nonhuman identities, and has been completely on board with its abuse by people with similar bigotries.

I can only conclude that this extension is now totally unreliable for its stated purpose, and now strongly discourage its use by anyone who's looking to actually curate their spaces.

What an absolute waste of what was once a good thing.

Enshittified and abused to the point that it is no longer fit for purpose.

this USED to be a good addon and genuinely marked only terfs as red. nowadays it marks literally any transmasc, intersex, or nonbinary person as red for existing and being proud. transfems are also marked red if they post anything about supporting ALL trans people. this addon is FOR terfs at this point 👎

This app is decent but sometimes is used as a bludgeon by terfs marking the average trans/enby poc red. I won't say to uninstall it but do not implicitly believe that every marking it's ever made is true and unbiased. Sorry, but you're still going to have to do your homework if you want to know if someone is transphobic or not.

Does not work as it claims to. I've seen multiple radfem and well known terf accounts marked green, and vocally pro queer and trans friendly accounts marked red.

Incorrectly marks trans men, nonbinary people and intersex people as anti-trans in a way that can only be malicious

White transfems can say the most vile transphobic stuff ever and still be marked green, but any poc that's enby/transmasc/2spirit/intersex and calls them out for it gets marked red. Mhm. Uninstalled.
