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/

    This was initially requested 20 months ago and it's nearly 3 months since your initial response!

    Trans and NB streamers have asked for this repeatedly and many of them are in the comments here telling you that they want it. Why not just give it to them? Whatever else you have planned isn't going to be ruined by having the tag around and it's something you can implement really quickly. It can only serve to provide more visibility for our trans and NB siblings!

    A trans tag would be hugely helpful for the LGBTQIA+ community. Please add one soon!

    It's really shameful that there isn't a trans tag, this is 2020. Get with the program please. We need representation for our trans family.

    I would love to meet and get to know my fellow trans gamers and soon to be friends with this rather than constantly scrolling through tags and invading peoples privacy. It allows for those who want to be seen, be seen!

    A trans tag would be really amazing so I can find people who I know will accept me as a viewer wholeheartedly! It would also be extremely useful for trans creators to effectively network with other people in the community. Please consider this!

    Surely it isn't this hard to let people connect with eachother. Take the 5 minutes and make the **** tag.

    It's literally been almost 2 years since this was suggested and lowkey think we should spam the comments until twitch decides to pay attention
  • qyeermessyah commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is absolutely ridiculous that twitch has not added this tag yet and has not even given an update in almost 2 months. The tag would be helpful and is needed especially since the twitch algorithm only seems to recommend cis white gamers, this tag would at least allow us to find and support more trans gamers.

    Please help give twitch a representation of reality. Something important to a lot of people. #addatranstag #trans

    this weeks update
    4220+ people have requested this tag

    You add a holiday emote "2020SpeakUp " and this is the trans community speaking up asking for this feature and still nothing

    but we're also noticing you removed the "blind play through tag"
    we see your priorities.

    It is generally very simple. If the community asks for something, as the trans community has, then the community has decided that it suits their needs. Since adding the tag is merely a minor programming thing for Twitch, this would be the time to defer to the wishes of the community.

    I hope that your streams are going well! I don’t understand the trans targeted harassment argument as a reason to not create a trans tag. One can be equally targeted for using the LGBTQIA+ tag, yet that tag exists. There is no good argument for not having a trans tag! We also need an ally tag so that allies like myself don’t have to co-opt the LGBTQIA+ tag ti demonstrate that our channels are safe places.

    I'm a trans streamer. Currently, the only sure way that I know of where trans viewers can find trans streamers, is through other trans streamers via raiding, hosting, and word-of-mouth. That's to say nothing of smaller streamers who haven't made those kinds of connections, or trans people who want to start streaming. If you're worried about targeted harassment as a result of creating a tag, you should treat that as a separate issue. You already offer moderation tools, and if you think they aren't sufficient to prevent trans-targeted harassment, that is not an issue with your tagging system. Also, tags are inherently an opt-in feature. No trans person would be forced to tag themselves as such. We would be more visible on our own terms. There is absolutely no excuse to not implement this, and furthermore, continuing not to is harming your trans creators.

    Now I maybe a simple country twitch user, but I believe that it isn't that hard to add a tag to a platform. Especially if you have a tag for each one of those little guys in that league of legends game.
