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.

Trans rights are human rights. This shouldn't even be a question. Add a trans tag.

With all the harmful laws coming into play and being reversed in states across the U.S., and in countries around the world, it is important to show support and to provide support with a Trans tag for this community. <3

I'm glad Twitch is adding more Trans Partners, but it would be a heck of a lot easier to uplift more transgender content creators with a Trans Tag. Right now, more than ever, transgender people are struggling to find a community together where we can feel safe, related to, and uplifted. While the LGBTQIA+ tag was intended for that, it is not explicitly for transgender people. We need explicit support right now. You've got the funds, you've got the signatures and the comments here, all you have to do is make a tag.

I can't believe whether or not to add this is even a question. Listen to your users and get on it.

If we don't get a tag on the 31st I might go stream on Youtube or something even less well known. God, How much LACK OF APPRECIATION can one company show to a group of people that CARES enough to post 900 ******* comments?! Seriously. ******** guys. THIS IS WAAAAAYYYY OVER DUE. get off your *** and spend ******* 10 minutes making stupid tag.

Twitch has a Drag tag, A LGBTQIA+ tag but not A trans tag, We need a trans tag that way it can make it easier for us to find more lovely people like that and it was on October 19th 2020 that Twitch said we didn't forget about you, Does Twitch not care about trans people? Give us a trans tag already

We can get a new game category before the game even hits full release, but we can't get a Trans Tag after two years of asking and showing that it's not only needed, but wanted by many people? Somehow this is taking an ice age to sort out while you wasted no time sorting out PogChamp? Are trans viewers and content creators not as valuable to you as at least an old meme emote?
What could you possibly need to consider about adding a tag that requires two years of mostly silent contemplation? You seemed real quick to announced the nonsense banning of a word like Simp, but this somehow is really hard? Come on Twitch just give us the tag!

I'll be very blunt, but as a programmer.. You either programmed poorly if you having a hard time adding this tag.
Or you're having some other internal withdraws / issues which are hopefully worth the wait.

Options are awesome. Adding a trans tag allows people to use it if they want. Currently, no such tag can be used. Options are awesome. Let people have options. Visibility is important.
