extension marks trans men red all the time because the extension is ran by transmasc hating devs

Not worth it.

This isn't useful anymore, there are too many false positives for it to be helpful. You have to go to each account and individually verify whether they were marked as red/green correctly, which defeats the entire point of the extension.

For example, there are many pro-trans advocates and allies are marked red, despite no wrongdoing, by people with personal grudges against them. And there are transphobic people who are marked green purely on the basis of being trans. Who gets marked as red or green isn't supposed to be dictated by one's identity, or by differing opinions on smaller matters within the LGBT+ community (like disagreements over using neopronouns or micro-labels).

The system is supposed to be: red=unsafe (dangerous transphobic accounts), and green=safe (vocal, proactive supporters of trans rights). Because this extension is being misused and poorly moderated, that system doesn't function anymore.

A lot of trans rights supporters, many of whom are trans themselves, are marked red because they talk positively about intersex people, non-binary people (including non-binary transfemmes and transmascs), trans men, or trans people of color. Many Black trans people specifically are reporting that they've been falsely flagged as red because they critique racial disparities within the broader queer and trans communities; this is an unacceptable misuse of the SE extension to isolate or discredit Black transgender people.

I used to rely on SE to quickly block transphobes like TERFs to keep myself safe online, but these days the TERFs are hardly getting flagged as red at all, and too many times I've checked a red account and realized it's just somebody who discussed intersexism, with no evidence to any instances of transphobia in their account history.

This is wrong and demonstrates biases in the team moderating the extension and the dwindling userbase. This needs to be fixed and the rules clarified (and enforced better by the SE curators) to make this extension safe to use again.

It's alright. Some false positives, so without reasons given you have to do your own detective work to figure out if it's accurate, which kinda defeats the whole point.

Also, enbyphobes are often not marked or sometimes even marked as green, which sucks as a nonbinary person myself.

This stopped being useful about a year ago. It still marks many known transphobes as red, but unfortunately it also marks A LOT of gnc, transmasc, intersex and other folks as red. Someone out there is deliberately targeting these kinds of users, and unfortunately it seems like whoever runs this extension either doesn't care to actively take appeals to un-mark targeted queer folks, or doesn't have the time or means to change anything for the positive. Neither of which are remotely acceptable excuses.

Don't listen to all the hate. If someone is marked red and they think that's wrong, look into their views on "transandrophobia". Being trans does not stop someone from being transphobic, and many of them will witchhunt and dogpile trans women on places like tumblr. Use Shinigami Eyes and keep your wits about you.

Would be great if there's a version that highlights AIslop creators as well!

got marked red as a trans woman for asking someone to provide a source regarding interpersonal drama in my city. literally can't make this shit up. used to only mark transphobes, now they mark trans people (and especially masculine trans people) red for petty bullshit. i've been active and vocal for trans rights my entire life. what a joke

I am transfem, and despite this I was marked red by an ex-mutual for petty interpersonal drama, and have been unable to reverse this. I have also seen so many others have similar experiences. I personally believe going into an account or link with your own judgment and eyes is a more consistent and wise thing to do to make your space online feel safest for you.

The one star reviews are (mostly) because transmisogynists are upset they got marked red for their transmisogyny, and can be ignored. In most cases, the extension functions as intended. Particularly so for people marked red, being marked green is a little more iffy.

Largely overrun by weird tumblr trans women who hate anyone AFAB these days. Considering how just being transmasc or thinking pedophilia is bad will get you flagged red.

Immensely racist and transandrophobic. Also loves to defend pedos, for some reason.

I am a gender nonconforming trans individual who is outspoken about my support for queer rights, but I found myself marked red on shinigami eyes after someone I got into a petty online disagreement with had all of their friends to mark me as unsafe. This is an issue I've seen repeat over the last multiple years, and it's only gotten worse with time. This used to be a really useful extension, but it's been warped and weaponized against the very community that built it. I can't say I recommend it anymore because it does not accurately identify transphobia/queerphobia as it used to.

Genuinely does not serve its intended purpose anymore. People that make threats against trans men and transmascs are marked green but anyone who speaks out against anti transmasculinity, exorsexism, or intersexism is marked red. Trans men and transmascs speaking about their experiences and putting a name to that experience isn't a threat to trans women or transfems.

Used to be useful. Infiltrated by TERFs, overrun with racism, exorsexism, and lateral transphobia. Cannot speak for other social media sites as I don't use them, but it's useless on tumblr. It used to be if I saw a red name and checked, nearly 100% of the time it was a TERF/radfem or otherwise transphobe. Now, if I see a red name, nearly 100% of the time it's just a trans masculine person or an intersex person. It seems like he/him in bio is enough to get you marked red on this extension now lmfao. Would not recommend, hope an alternative that seeks to protect ALL trans people is created.

this add-on is actually rlly reliable if you fully comprehend *why* the people who are marked red/green are marked red/green. it's not about whether or not you're "nice" or are "normal," it's about whether or not you're safe for trans people to be around; specifically, *transfeminine* people, as they are the most vulnerable members of the trans community, and anyone who isn't safe for them shouldn't be considered "trans friendly." that's really all there is to it. useful extension!!! although i agree with people who say it would be nice to know why certain people were marked red/green, the context would be useful too

ignore the cry baby terfs in the comments.
