Gender Blinder Extension

# Gender Blinder

An open source browser extension to remove implicit gender from English language web pages.

## Known limitations

* Due to the ambiguous nature of language, removing gender from natural English cannot easily be done with 100% accuracy.
* Making gender specific words non-gender-specific is a lossy operation; information about the genders of characters being described is lost. This can make text more ambiguous.
* There is not a one-to-one mapping between English pronouns of different genders, so sometimes there are two possible substitutions i.e. \"his\" -> \"her\" OR \"his\" -> \"hers\".
* Not all gender specific words are covered.
* Sometimes words unrelated to gender get changed by accident. For example they may have a similar/identical spelling to a gender-specific word.

Your trashcan ’t (ID: 0000009b3173b82a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/10/2022 Its pretty good though it doesn't work sometimes

Charlie Murphy (ID: 000000898fd9c88a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/29/2021 Useless. There are 2 genders and it makes no sense to try to hide it.

Queen Asriel (ID: 000000db394a4ec0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/22/2020 It works enough for now. Have not had a problem with it yet. If I do I will get back to you on that. It needs some improvement, but nothing is perfect so I will not hold it's lack of flawlessness against it.
