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.

Would be great to be part of twitch natively, apart from it just being nice to have that inclusivity easier to give, I can only imagine this making chat more engaging and active.

This is just a quality of life feature for everyone and it would be great for it to have the native support.

Ive been waiting for something like this on twitch officially

This would be a really fantastic feature, and would probably get me to interact with other chatters more than I currently do

I would totally be for this. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember pronouns for viewers who can't always make it. It would also help new and old members of our communities feel more welcome and comfortable.

I use the extension, but whenever I use mobile or a non browser app for Twitch or a new browser I can't see pronouns. But people that don't see the app at ALL can't see mine either. I think this will be extremely helpful if natively supported and help with the normalization of the use of the disclosure of pronouns

This would be beyond helpful to not misgender our viewers

I already have an integration that does this but it doesn't always work on my dashboard, this would be amazing!!!

Yes, I've already got it integrated with streamer bot, but this will make the feature more widespread and easily accessible

This would be so helpful for streamers too so they don't mispronoun!

Yes!! Integrate the bot everyone I know uses to make it home to Twitch!

This would be great as I haven’t figured out how to have it show in chat in OBS.

It would be so convenient to have pronouns integrated in user cards! Third party extensions are great, but I am often not on desktop so they don’t do much on other platforms.

This is such a critical part of being able to interact with people online with respect!

It would be very helpful to have pronouns available.

Native support for this should be a given! This would help SO much and it would be one less 3rd party thing to have to figure out. Plus integration into things like Elgato's prompter would then be seamless which helps creators even more.

Yes PLEASE, this would be amazing. I'd hope it would also be possible to change them easily, for those that are genderfluid/genderqueer

I would love that as an option. It would help in building more inclusive communities and would be useful across the board as most of us rely on Alejo's third party browser extension so we make sure we are addressing folks by their proper pronouns, but it doesn't work across everything. This would resolve that issue!

Would really love to see Twitch work WITH Alejo on this, too - community features that *already exist* being folded into the platform are wonderful, but integrating with the community members who led the charge is even better.
