Adding pronoun information to chat
For people who are trans and/or non-binary, letting streamers know your pronouns in chat so that your gendered correctly can either be awkward or difficult. An option for people to add their pronouns in brackets beside their usernames or in their profile cards in chat might help to let the streamer and/or chat know if a user feels it's important.

@YadoranSA ...you do know literally everyone has pronouns right? Even cis people.

People are incorrectly calling this "inclusive" it is definitely not. This excludes people who do not belong to your dogmatic ideology. In other words, you just want to be inclusive of people in your own social circle/beliefs and cast out the rest. And, like I said, that is not inclusive. So where is the vote down button?

I understand the reasoning behind this, but ya'll know that Streamers, especially ones with very active chats or ones playing games that need focus don't always have the option/ability to check ya'lls profiles to see this info right?
If this is an issue that bothers you, ya'll know you can always edit your usernames too include this right?
Besides, in my years of watching twitch, most streamers always refer to people as "chat" or by a users profile name... that's not true of all channels of course, but please realize that this might be demanding too much from twitch streamers.
Otherwise, why not just find an lgbtqia friendly streamer with a smaller community and a discord? Most streamers I've found with the lgbtqia friendly tag have discords where you can chose pronouns.
Voting regardless because I do support the idea. I just hope ya'll realize that it'll be difficult in a way for both streamers and viewers to be happy.

Opt-in native pronoun tags will allow people to do more to create safer spaces for LGBTQ communities. Right now the only way to do this is with a Google Chrome extension

Twitch needs to add an option to allow users to add their pronouns to their profile! There's a browser extension which allows you to choose your pronouns, and it adds them as a badge next to your username. I would love to see this!

Pleeeeeease! Not that Twitch actually cares about any of us, taking over a year and thousands of votes to post that they noticed (but haven't done anything about) adding a trans tag to their existing tag system...
Still, support for displaying pronouns is very needed. I muchly like having them in brackets after users' names. This seems common and easy to spot and understand.
And now back to trying to puzzle out a name change that has pronouns in it.

The only argument against this is that people might target and harass people who have chosen to do this which is banable anyways. Upvote!

This is incredibly easy to implement, as we've seen from third-party extensions.
Inclusivity is important to Twitch, or so it claims, so this is an important step!

Pronouns are easy and super important for the health of some people so let's just add them!
