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.

They ARE being inclusive... There's an LGBTQIA+ Hashtag that includes trans. There are NO separate, gay, lesbian, ********, or any other hashtags for any of the other groups.

For a company that preaches all about inclusion a catch all tag should only be the beginning not the end all solution

There's already an LGBTQIA+ tag... Is the suggestion to remove the T from it and just have a trans tag? Does the LGBTQIA+ NOT include you as it is now? I'm confused why so many in the comment sections are saying it's "needed"... I'm a member of the LGB community, this is a sincere inquiry from someone who has faced discrimination at the hands of the trans community and just wants to find out why this is being so heavily pushed when there is a tag that already includes you.

You can't support pride if you dont support trans rights, there should ALREADY BE a trans tag. Foster the community, stop adding tags like 'deck building' etc.

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, it is wonderful to see the tag exist, but, i believe that it deserves individual attention from each communities involved, seperating the tags into there own would make it that much easier for everyone to find the content that they are specifically looking for, i really hope you consider this move, because it would definately be a huge benefit in every commmunity

As a ***** Twitch streamer whose day job is as a software developer, I strongly support adding a trans tag, and find the delay and vague updates a bit bizarre. Please commit to inclusivity on Twitch by implementing a trans tag ASAP. If y'all are hard-up for devs, let me know, lol. Thank you!!

my weekly update. still no trans tag.
I shouldn't have to search reddit, twitter, youtube, 4chan, instagram, or find some back ally discord to find other trans twitch streamers.*if* this is going to be announced at glitchcon this will be grossly disingenuous to the trans community. It shouldn't be a conversation, it shouldn't be a discussion or user voice it should just be implemented. So I hope this is not the case.
If you are worried about "people being targeted or harassed" heres a solution
Having proper channel filters keeps not just the trans community safe, it keeps the ENTIRE PLATFORM safe.

Transtag please, thank you!

As a trans creator who markets himself as such, a trans tag would make categorizing myself on Twitch so much easier- Some people specifically look for trans streamers and it would make things infinitely easier.

Just add the tag already, you'll gain more Twitch users that way!
