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/

"but the team is reading all of your feedback to take into consideration." how many iterations of "give us the tag already" can you read and still ignore us? Please give us the trans tag!

@mx_and_mrs, which word did you use to refer to the community that got censored? I assumed ***** (q*eer in case it is) but that didn't get censored from my test comment.

I think everyone would agree being able to further identify oneself within the LGBTQIA+ tag would be beneficial to both twitch and streamers. The community is asking for it, and more representation would being more traffic to twitch

I find all my streamers through the 2SLGBTQIA+ tag. And to have a tag that's trans specific would be amazing.

"We still do not have anything to share, but the team is reading all of your feedback to take into consideration."
I mean, how hard is it to just add a tag? We're not asking for a full revamp of the twitch UI, just add a trans tag.

You haven't forgotten about us? Nothing to share? If you were reading our feedback and had anything resembling a SHRED of decency, you would have given us what we've been exceedingly patient in our requests for.
I'm not sure if your heads are in the sand or up your own backsides, but pull them out and open your bloody eyes.
We're tired of being patient. We're tired of waiting. We're tired of platitudes and empty promises.

We need a Trans tag and an Allies tag so that allies don't need to use the LGBTQ+ tag which makes it really hard to find other ***** streamers. I want to be able to find my Trans siblings and find my ***** community on twitch. If I wanna find an ally, then I should be able to do that too. The LGBTQ+ tag is too broad and not helpful to us!!!! OUR COMMUNITY IS ASKING YOU TO SHOW UP TWITCH, PLEASE SHOW UP FOR US!

hi hi honestly confused how this hasn't been added when the lgbt community is so huge on twitch so discluding the tag is unfair. The men and woman who take the step tp be who they truly as should be able to express it on their stream with a tag. Please include it soon.

Add it. It baffles my mind that this is not a tag yet.

I am unsatisfied with Twitches response to this. There is no need to "get things right" by pushing this out and hmming and hawing over it. Add the tag.
