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/

Trans tag is needed! No need to group every single lgbtqia+ streamer into just one tag. There are sub sections for a reason!

I feel like this is a big movement for the lgbt+ community should this actually go through. This tag is unfortunately used by those in it and supporters of it. Which isn't bad! Its great knowing there are allies out there for all of us, but having specifics for those of us in the lgbt+ can help people build a community for people like us.

This needs to happen. Not only for better representation but as a way to fully allow trans content creators and viewers to connect in a way that the broad LGBTQIA+ tag doesn't provide.

Absolutely needed. Our trans siblings need the tag, it'll allow representation, visibility and the fostering of a supportive community on Twitch. Please make this happen.

I would love to be able to see streams by other trans people, instead of having to search for them endlessly

Trans Tag is trans rights and trans rights are human rights. Having a trans tag would mean a lot for trans youth and adults.
