Pronoun bio field and chat integration
Following up my comment on https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover/suggestions/42218083-pronouns-prefix
It would be great if there were a dedicated Bio field in which we could put our pronouns, and a chat feature similar to the functionality provided by https://pronouns.alejo.io/ to display pronouns right alongside names in chat. This could also be used to populate a tag-like display near the streamer's name.
Tags for streamers are a start, but I'd like to be able to consult someone's bio (if they choose to disclose pronouns) so I can refer to them properly when they're not currently streaming and be able to refer to viewers properly.

The only argument against this is that people might target and harass people who have chosen to do this which is banable anyways. Upvote!

This is incredibly easy to implement, as we've seen from third-party extensions.
Inclusivity is important to Twitch, or so it claims, so this is an important step!

Pronouns are easy and super important for the health of some people so let's just add them!

badges that are for she/her, he/him, they/them, etc.

We've already seen with the user made Chrome Extension that this is something that would definitely be helpful on Twitch, but it means that everyone would need to use Chrome when using the platform.
Surely there's a simple solution that Twitch can deploy?

Why is this not available? where is the inclusiveness that supposedly exist? these tags/badges help people respect each other. get your stuff together twitch. All will benefit with the changing times.

One of the best places to see a chatter's pronouns is right there next to their name. Please add a pronoun badge so we can select and share our preferred pronouns.

Alejo Pereyra made an extension for Chrome.
You can download it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twitch-chat-pronouns/agnfbjmjkdncblnkpkgoefbpogemfcii
and you can set your preferred pronouns at https://pronouns.alejo.ioThis is how it looks in chat https://twitter.com/Marielitai/status/1331778028012232704

As someone who would use this feature, I absolutely see a need for not only having my community know how to refer to me, but a way to refer to people in my community! Usernames rarely signal gender, but creating opportunities to speak to people the way they want to is what twitch should be about!
