Twitch Guild for People with Invisible Disabilities
Hi my name is Krillin and today I am writing this post as an idea for a new Twitch Guild. I've been on Twitch for almost 7 years and a partner for 6 and over those years the Twitch Guild program is absolutely one of the best ideas that I think Twitch has had. With this program being so new, obviously not everyone could be included into the Guilds, but I just wanted to present an idea for a possible new guild for people like myself and countless others. The Invisible Disability Guild.
I'm a type-1 diabetic and have been for 22 years now and have always felt that it would be really awesome for folks like myself or w/ other illnesses to find one another and help foster a strong and welcoming community. Having a community like this for people like myself can be incredibly empowering as I'm sure most people seeking out streamers with said invisible illnesses want to connect and not feel alone or isolated with their illness.
Not only that, but there are multiple months throughout the year celebrating people like this (October: ****** Cancer, November: Diabetes, Lupus: May) and I'm positive folks would absolutely gravitate towards potential charity events involving guild members and the rest of the Twitch community. There are already a ton of pre-existing events that benefit these groups, but just think of the potential impact Twitch could make if they had an official team/group of people to help push these events?
So if you also think this would be a cool idea please consider voting on this post and sharing it for visibility. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this!
Much Love,
Krillin <3

This a fantastic idea. I’ve always wanted a community for streamers with invisible illnesses. It would be such a joy to have support from others who know what you’re going through.

I've seen the progress that has been made & the goodness that has been spread with the Women's Guild; how great would it be to see similar effects from & for those with invisible disabilities?
Krillin's absolutely on to something here. Would love to see this happen!
