This site could definitely stand a few more politically active, intersectional feminists of the cisgender persuasion downloading Shinigami Eyes and spending some time flagging anti-trans hate blogs.

Not to put too fine a point on this, but the mental and emotional well-being of transgender users on this website shouldn’t hinge on trans people minesweeping for transphobic rhetoric when there’s a whole-ass population of people who aren’t affected by transphobia who could be doing this.

In the three hours since I posted this, I’ve flagged several hundred anti-trans blogs just following reblog chains.  I know that I’m not going to be able to get every anti-trans blog flagged this way — not by myself — but I can at least get some of the major distributors identified.

I’ve also put some green flags down on blogs who are in the notes arguing with anti-trans bigotry to try and keep them from getting caught in the crossfire.

I could really use help with this.  I’ll even teach you how to efficiently sweep the notes on these posts if you ask.  This is important work towards keeping a particularly virulent strain of fascism on this hellsite contained.

You know what, fuck it.  Class is in session.

Get equipped: Go here and get Shinigami Eyes for your browser of choice.  Now go find some post about transgender rights and pop open the notes.

Go for the loudmouths: This is the most surface-level work, but it often gives people able to do more thorough work a good place to start.  Read through the replies and reblogs to look for people expressing anti-trans sentiments and right-click on their usernames.  You’ll want to look for something like this:

Select the option to mark as anti-trans.  The first time you do this, a tab will open explaining the criteria for marking URLs and asking you to manually confirm your submission.  You only have to do this one time — subsequent submissions will be uploaded automatically.

Go for the distributors: This is the intermediate, and (in my opinion) most important part of the job.  Click the part of the notes window where the like and reblog counts are listed to get the full list.  Look for names that have been highlighted in red, start checking out adjacent blogs in the reblog chain, and flag them accordingly.

Go for the randos: If you have time to kill on your hands, you can look through the blog names in the notes for anti-trans keywords, look for random likes clustered in the middle of fash chains, and so on.  While this is helpful over the long-term, I think it’s generally best to focus on loudmouths and distributors.

[id= screenshot of the options that show up when right clicking a username. Below the usual options (open link in a new tab, open in a new window, copy, etc) the Shinigami Eyes extension is listed, which opens up its own menu of options including “Mark as anti-trans”, “Mark as t-friendly”, “Clear”, “Settings”, and “Help” /end id]

Electronic Skin Patch Could Treat Diseases Researchers have made an electronic skin patch that can monitor muscle movement, store the data it collects and use stored data patterns to decide when to deliver medicine through the skin. The patch could be useful for monitoring and treating Parkinsons and epilepsy, its creators say. LINK
