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.

We’ll send you updates on this idea

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/

    Having a separate tag for Trans streamers would be amazing, Twitch!
  • musicbyTymat commented  ·   ·  Report

    Twitch, at least give us a stronger sense of a plan-of-action. We need transparency here! Other requests have appropriate tags for the progress, and yet this one still has nothing! The lack of any progression since the initial response back in September and the follow up in October is not enough! This is one of the highest voted on ideas on this site, yet others are getting prioritized. Reach out to your trans creators for more inclusive feedback and to get the ball rolling. If you're going to say no, Say No. Don't roll around the topic and say you're still keeping a close eye on the matter when you're clearly not.

    This was started in 2019. Its been over a year and your still sitting on your *** doing nothing. Or next to nothing considering the complete lack of updates.

    Like what is the issue here please?
  • theanttro commented  ·   ·  Report

    We need to highlight trans creators! Add a trans tag!

    Trans Day of Remembrance in the deadliest year on record for trans people, and y'all wonder why we need a tag.
  • Melarooni commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love to see more support for my fellow LGBT creators, so please add this tag!
  • twitch.tv/MonicaElleRose commented  ·   ·  Report

    you have a new site ui update to help with discoverability and still add no trans tag or even an entire lgbt category (only a tag) which could be even more inclusive and have sub tags for the rest of the lgbt acronym which has been commented previously in this thread.

    i wish the twitch employees who read and responded on this forum actually fought for the trans community as much as some of the lovely streamers have in the comments

  • doodie_doro commented  ·   ·  Report

    I’d love to have this tag to help me find more streams.

  • pineberrythenerd commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's nice to be able to meet people who support you and are like you so can you please give us this tag
  • OffdutyHoers commented  ·   ·  Report

    Twitch realize this was already brought up 3/19?
  • the_donkeh commented  ·   ·  Report

    100% think this is something that NEEDS to happen. Allowing trans people the ability to find spaces more easily to chill, game and vibe with other trans people would be incredible

  • queenofsprinkles commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like this. It would make it easier to find trans streamers to support.
  • theonlyleo03 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Our Trans brothers and sisters deserve this!!!
  • AstralLatte commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would definitely be interested to see a tag for trans people!

  • nyxiibae commented  ·   ·  Report

    The trans community absolutely deserves inclusivity!

    Today is the start of Transgender Awareness Week, which will culminate on November 20th in Transgender Day of Remembrance. During this week we push to get people to understand that we exist. That Trans people are part of this world and that we deserve to be so, without shame or fear.

    Sadly we cannot raise this awareness on Twitch by using the tools the platform provides.

    This is the week to think about us, about our community. Read through these many comments (420 as I write this) and please do this simple thing to acknowledge us.
