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.

As a trans woman, I would appreciate the ability to streamline other tags to be more specific to the audience I want to attract as well as filtering content that is trans specific. #trans ❤ https://www.twitch.tv/heymadie

Trans visibility is so important!! Trans folks shouldn’t have to guess if the person using LGBTQIA tag is trans, trans friendly, etc. They should have their own trans tag to be able easily find one another for safe spaces and communities.

This is so important for me and other trans streamers to be able to find each other on this platform. Saying that it'll make us a target for hate is not an excuse, when the problem is the need for better reporting and banning of trolls.
