Trans tag request
It is hard enough finding trans representation in our daily lives. With the LGBTQIA+ tag, one still needs to browse through channels and spend time in them to find trans streamers. A "trans" tag would help people searching for these communities.
Today we are rolling out 350+ tags, including the transgender tag, to provide you with more options on how you express yourself and your content, so that you can more easily connect with one another and build wonderful communities. We are really appreciative for all of the feedback around this topic (and other related suggestions).
We previously told you that we had a better solution to this request than adding the tag, and we were wrong. This has been one of the most popular requests we’ve heard, and the simple truth is that we should have done this sooner. In an effort to think carefully about how to best address this, we only made the situation more difficult. Again, thank you for helping us throughout this process in reevaluating our stance.
Please continue to share ideas and feedback you have to UserVoice, as well as any suggestions for additional tags you feel we may have missed! We are working to invest more into this forum and aim to have faster communications in the future.

I know we have the LGBTQ+ tag but having a trans tag would be so helpful, especially when people want to support specifically trans people.
And considering today is Trans
Visibility Day, seems like the great time to do something for us -

It's Trans Day of Visibility and trans streamers absolutely deserve a trans tag. Think of the young trans people on twitch and what it would mean to them to be able to find a community of people who are like them, where they can have that representation, and support. It should not be taking you this long to add the trans tag.

It's the Trans Day of Visibility. Maybe you could do something to celebrate? Like adding a tag? Or making a video? Anything?

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! Can the community get an easy-to-use tag to help group like minded people together?
Options are awesome! -

The tag would actually help people find other trans streamers. You don't need to worry about us being harassed, as we are already harassed without it.

As a transwoman I feel like I must point out the elephant in the room and ask my Trans Community the question we all know the answer to because we live it everyday irl...
Is it possible twitch doesn't care about it's trans communities?
Could this be the potential answer to why there has been an out cry for our trans tag for almost 2 years, 900+ comments, almost 7k upvoted and zero results to show for it?
Twitch the trans community has spoken but you're still "considering" the feedback. Or are you? Are you though? Twitch. Are you? Idk...

You last responded to us in October. You claim you're still taking our feedback, but it's been 5 months of silence. Give us the trans tag. Now. You aren't protecting us anyway, so let us band together ourselves.
