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.
Please check out our blog post for more info: https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/05/26/celebrate-yourself-and-your-community-with-350-new-tags/

If Twitch's reason is "protecting us from harassment" then it's kinda hilarious that they are presuming to know what's better for the trans community than... like... the actual trans community.

I think the community is due another update on this. A couple of platitudes a third of a year ago is not an acceptable speed of update.
It's been two years since this was requested now. Time to act.

Trans tag now please. You have all the feedback of 2yrs of people explaining how they need this to find community. It is vitally important to our LGBTQIA2+ community that our trans siblings have a tag. Stop dragging your heals and be better human beings. We're never gonna stop asking until you give us a Trans Tag.

That twitch doesn't have this is dumb.
This is like...a couple of entries in a database and maybe some basic graphic design work you can knock out in an afternoon. The flag is even already a thing so you don't even have to do anything original. Come on twitch.

As a trans person I've always had trouble finding content creators and streamers that I can relate to, The LGBTQIA+ tag is great and all but I think It'd be much better to also have tags for the individual groups that make up the community.
It hurts no one to add more tags and with a trans tag I can more easily find
and support people like me :) -

It's been 2 years, twitch. There's no excuse for this. Implement it now

If Twitch is supposed to be a place for you to find a like-minded community it makes no sense that there isn’t a trans tag. Sure you can say it’s so we “don’t get harassed” but we get harassed in general; at least this way we can find our own community and support each other without having to track others down.

This would be amazing to help connect the community and improve support for trans streamers. Visibility is so important and this is not a hard thing to add and does not hurt anyone. Please implement this!

It would be amazing. Visibility and representation is super important, and it'd definitely help people in our communities find people like us to support and consume content from. Please make this happen twitch, it's not hard at all.

It's one little thing that would take no effort that would mean so much to such a marginalised community that struggles to find representation and safe spaces. There is no actual logical reason not to have the trans tag
