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/

    I'm not a streamer but I do watch them and everyone should have representation- you are telling the trans community they don't deserve to be represented, and that is so wrong- get it together and add the tag, shouldn't be this difficult-

    Hey Twitch? Do you think you could give us a trans tag? I'm a trans girl, and I would love it if I could meet up with other trans people. Thanks!

    I dont know why this isn't already a tag. it would be a great idea to have it, i know they're part of LGBTQ+ but it'd be nice to have a Trans tag alongside it.

  • TheRealFrenchestFry commented  ·   ·  Report

    Maybe an ally tag too? So you can differentiate for LGBT streamers and allies?

    bruh they must be ignoring or planning on doing more than a tag because it's easy to put a freking new tag nothing complicated

    I want to see a transtag on twitch because it is something sorely needed. If twitch is about building communities and letting people have a way to easily find those communities then it is important to understand that a one size fits all tag simply isn't enough. It was a somewhat okay start, but keep going further. Trans people should be represented in their own right and easily found on this platform by those who want and need that community most.

    I am commenting again. I am Trans and Non-Binary and I want to be able to easily find and Raid others in my community. If I hadn't seen other Trans and Enby streamers I would not have considered streaming myself. Representation is important, and the visibility has to be there.

    Commenting again because this is really important to me! Please add a trans tag so our trans siblings can find each other. The absence of a trans tag hinders the ability of trans folk to find each other and its a structural barrier created by twitch that weakens the community. Please add a trans tag. Thank you for hearing our requests and hope to see this resolved soon!

    I think twitch has a huge problem with communication between all of its departments and this is very visible

    you put a kpop emote out before the trans tag
    you put a gold kappa emote out before a transtag
    your site advertised and promoted a borat watch party before we had a trans tag

    3500 + people are asking for this trans tag and your inaction is screaming to us that you aren't listening to us. you coming back to update this thread with no action makes it look like you are laughing at us. more and more every day this isnt a feature on your site

    How hard is it to just add the tag?

    "We feel there MIGHT be a better solution"

    So your not even confident in whatever bs your trying to put together

    Just add the tag!
