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.

A separate tag for trans people to find each other because the LGBTQIA+ tag is absolutely useless for that and we've been begging for over a year but instead you ask for feedback and do your own thing anyway

No point in this at all.

Trans Tag When? Seriously, you made Nikatine a twitch Ambassador. High time we had our own gaming tag, especially after you got rid of communities last year.

I agree also that twitch should be more open with their tags within categories. people looking to find people like themselves especially in such isolated communities such as trans who have very few people who understand what they are going through would be a great help for their mental health and confidence to know and find others within the twitch community they can not only relate to but have people that also relate to them on a very level and safe platform. thank you in advanced Twitch

Before twitch made the switch from communities to tags, we had a trans community and it was pretty great. I got some great queer-friendly follows in my streams, and discovered several other streamers though it. Please add a trans tag so we can have that again.

+3, for some of us trans viewers it's the best & sometimes only way to cope with gender dysphoria.
