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.

Hi, please add a Trans tag. Trans Twitch community members deserve to have a way to find one another easily.

Despite this topic reaching the highest number of votes under "Browsing and Searching", Twitch remains quiet. Guess it really speaks volumes on how much they actually "care" about the community.

Hey, just saying that a trans trag should exist. Surely, you can't get this much feedback and think, 'nah, nothing to share yet'? If we can get tags that say finance, track and field etc etc, we can get a trans tag and make the community feel safe and heard. Come on Twitch, come out with a W, please

So, about that Trans tag...It shouldn't have taken this long to "read" the feedback.

Why is Twitch is so hesitant to support Trans communities?

Please add a trans tag to your tag library. Options are awesome.

Please make this a thing! Give our Trans brothers and sisters a tag so they can create a safe space for trans viewers.

Hi there. This is absolutely a must have on Twitch. Our friends in the LGBTQIA+ community should have tags and other means to communicate to the greater Twitch community who they are and what they’re about. A trans tag would help them achieve this and so those who seek them out can find them more easily. Hook them up already!

Adding another voice to +1 this request, trans streamers would massively benefit from a reliable way to discover other trans creators in a more streamlined, effective way.

Please add a trans tag! Trans creators are marginalized every day, we need a tag for separate recognition and appreciation!

Would love an update on the progress with this, as so many who invest time and money into your platform are looking to find trans creators in a more natural, streamlined way. Trans creators deserve it, too.

The trans tag is a much needed tag for Twitch to have. The streamers who I am closest with are beautiful trans bodies and deserve to have their own tag to be represented. Trans is beautiful!

As a trans creative, I am disappointed to know it's been two years since the request of a trans flag has been made, I hope that you really do hear us and make the trans flag ! We deserve representation

Why isn't this even a thing yet? It's not because of tags representing content and not the streamer, otherwise the LGBTQIA+ tag wouldn't be a thing that's described as "For streams in which the streamer chooses to identify as a member or ally of the LGBTQIA+ community"
That's an identity tag. Just like we're requesting here. Come on, Twitch.
