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/

The fact it wasn't originally included is disrespectful. Put it on!

YES, we need a trans tag! Trans people deserve the recognition and space in the community to feel safe to be themselves and find community with each other!! Not all LGBTQIA+ tagged communities are trans-accepting.

This is a great idea. Trans streamers and trans viewers should be able to find each other.

As a trans person, I believe there should be a trans tag because I've gone into some LGBTQ+ streams and still had issues with listening to a streamer who's not trans and is being transphobic. The gay/***** community is still full of transphobes. A trans tag is a seemingly great way to ensure we aren't going into one of these phobic channels.
Not only that, but it would be a great way to simply connect with other trans streamers and build a community.
There's a tag for drag queens but not trans people. Someone make it make sense. -

Our community expands every day but our brothers and sisters need their own tag! Allow them to have their voice to <3

There needs to be a trans tag because a lot of people would like to support other trans streamers but can't because there is no tag for Trans and people don't want to ask if they are trans

I don't understand what the delay is on creating a Trans tag, seems like a simple fix/request that shouldn't be taking this long to complete. Please do the right thing Twitch!

I voted for this because it is something the trans community wants and I like them a lot. But personally, I think it will bring more labels, do we want that?

Hai yea. Rothii here. Yall probably seen my name alot on another platform but just coming back here after MONTH to say when are we going to move this to investigating or planned or something instead of pushing updates that are doing more harm then good. such as but not limited to unban request which are giving trolls a second chance to troll before fully departing. So can we get a actual update and not a "just checking in on ya'll wanna make sure nothing is up in blazes yet." from what I'm understanding probably one of the SIMPLIEST things that can be added we are just asking for since march of last year? Show us that you actually listen to us truly and not to stuff that just ends up lining your pockets with money. Get it together.

Leaving a follow up comment since I just noticed that this request has just surpassed over 4,000 votes. Please listen to the trans community and provide them with a tag so trans viewers and streamers can more easily find each other.

This. Even with the lgbtqia+ tag often that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe for trans people. A trans tag would let us know we belong there.
