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.

Representation is KEY to acceptance and understanding. People do not and will not understand something or someone that they have "never seen" or "never knew about" and while the Trans community is talked about frequently - it is rarely if ever represented accurately. The community deserves an opportunity to represent themselves. To find each other without fear. To come together in a community that can support each other. This is a small - VERY SMALL - way that Twitch can enable the Trans community to have a space where it is less scary to be open about who they are.

Hi Twitch Team,
This has been for the longest time *THE* and because of your latency, now (one of) the top suggestions to for Twitch to add for their service. We're not asking for a complete rework of Twitch, we're just asking for a tag to help us find our trans siblings on Twitch so we may support them.
Why is this taking so long? Why the generic customer service response that hasn't been updated since mid-October??? PLEASE, make this happen.

Trans people are one of the most mistreated group of people in the world. Showing love and exclusivity through an online community can help grow awareness and positivity for trans people on twitch! Make the move and lead as an example, please twitch!

You know what makes someone feel included and wanted on a platform? The ability to find other like minded people and form a community. You know what might help with that while taking next to no effort on your part? Give us a tag. Inclusiveness is not difficult and it's not your call to make.

It has been almost 2 years. We clearly want this. If people use tags to target others then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We already have trolls who target the LGBTQ+ tag. We ALREADY deal with that.

Voting for this again, because we need this, I’d stream more often with the trans tag.

Casting another vote for a trans tag on Twitch. I have no need for it myself, but I know many creators who would appreciate having this available as an option.
