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/

You're letting the silence of cis folks affect the ability of trans communities to find one another if you rely on this voting system. Being an ally with a large platform means using this platform to help amplify marginalized voices that you profess to care about.

Add a trans tag and stop gatekeeping our efforts to build community and support the people we want to support.

Add a trans tag, you cowards.

Or, or better yet, and this is just an idea, Twitch...how about letting us make OUR own tags, so you don't need to make an official one? Then we don't need to do this two-year long song-and-dance that you're forcing us to go through since you're just taking this into "consideration". Just saying...

Trans/ Other Inclusive Tags Now! Please :) Or just let people put in custom tags, would be much easier. Human beings come in different types and sadly Twitch isn't really presenting that. So, yes? Please

Update, please. This is such a basic request, and the fact that nothing has been said or done since October is quite telling.
The real question is, why don't people have the ability to make custom tags anyway?

Just do it. Please <3

There's no reason why there shouldn't be a trans tag for twitch! It helps others be recognized and proud of who they are!

I'm not trans but i have a lot of friends who are trans. a lot of people are transphobic, and movements that are. suck as super-straight and other big events. i think on twitch we need to know what places are safe for these people.

Getting closer to 10K comments here. Just another friendly reminder that options are awesome. Until you add them people cannot use the trans tag (among many others requested). Plz reconsider this.

I'm going to repeat another person that made a good point: If you can fix the /me command (which LITERALLY NO ONE ASKED FOR) where's our trans tag? (now me) Where's the black tag? There are so many minority groups being ignored because of prejudice and it's starting to feel BS>

Either a tag or make it so stream titles are full text searchable. It is so difficult to find new creators because of how difficult it is to search on Twitch. It's okay if a solution is in progress or is being designed, but the community deserves an update and transparency moving forward. It's been over 2 years since this was requested and almost 8 months since we've gotten an update.

Either make a tag or make it so that stream titles are full text searchable. It's very difficult to find new creators because we cannot search stream titles. It's okay if this is still being planned/worked on, but the community deserves an update and transparency moving forward.
