Soupcan

Soupcan is a browser extension that brings together many trans-supportive features into one package for Twitter. For example, it highlights transphobic users in red and takes reports from the community to keep this list updated and accurate. It allows you to hide or mask content from transphobes. In the future I plan to make features such as auto-blocking transphobes, auto-suggesting sources to reply with trans-supportive content, and anything else you might suggest!

Install

Available from Chrome Webstore Available from Firefox Add-ons Available on the Apple App Store for Safari

How does it work? Guide to installing & usage

  1. How do I report a user as a transphobe? Just right click on their username or name and choose Report transphobe from the Soupcan menu.

  2. How do I report someone who was unfairly marked? The same as above but instead click “Appeal”.

Features

  1. Shows transphobic usernames in red, and on what grounds they got marked red on their profile.
  2. Reports are logged and saved including reasoning so it can be reviewed at a later date.
  3. Trust-based reporting system means that the reporting is community-driven and transparent, not only relying on the creator’s decisions.
  4. Login with Twitter is required, to help prevent abuse and to also add accountability.
  5. Ability to mask out content by known transphobes
  6. Ability to do content-matching on images, gifs and videos to hide sensitive content (if posted by anyone)
  7. Database updates frequently and automatically without needing to update the extension
  8. Bonus features: Hiding ads, preventing Zalgo text
  9. And more to come!

Soon, other features will be rolled in to improve QoL and to offer more trans-supportive features. Check out the github project here.

Why is it named ‘Soupcan’?

It’s a reference/homage to VYZZE by the late transgender music producer SOPHIE. The lyrics go “Make it pop red and white, tomato soup can”. Additionally, tomatoes and tomato juice/soup has been recognized as anti-gender fascist iconography after Posie Parker was famously “juiced” at a rally she then aborted.
