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.

This would be an amazing feature! Tons of other websites already have this, so I feel like it's a no-brainer.

+1 I implement this through https://pronouns.alejo.io and Chat Overlays right now but would love it natively.

Yes this should 100% be implemented, it would allow for much greater identification especially those who use neopronouns

This should absolutely be implemented! I use the alejio.io extension, but cannot use it on one of my computers, so it would really help if this feature was available to viewers without having to download an external app or extension.

As someone who has been using this for years at this point and openly recommends people download it, we have chat overlays already implementing having them on screen. It feels super logical for the next step for twitch to add them, you already ask for our pronouns in streamer survey's so anyone who does those can already be considered "opted in"

Please make this available via API as well so our chat bots can refer to users with their preferred pronouns <3

Hi! I was informed of this being flagged as "Gathering Interest" so I figured I would drop some statistics from my end to help with that gauge
I am the developer of the "Twitch Chat Pronouns" extension that a lot of people use due to this not being a native feature on Twitch.
Currently there are almost 322,000 people that have set their pronouns over at https://pronouns.alejo.io.
As for the extension itself being used, there are 92,670 Chrome users with it installed, 14,370 on Firefox and 1,600 on Edge.What I do not have data on, however, is people using it via the FrankerFaceZ Add-On, and I know there is a sizable amount of people that use it through that as well, be it for simplicity or for integrations with software like OBS's Embedded chat. There is also a handful of 3rd party tools/alerts/bots/chat overlays that implement my public API.
I feel like this speaks very well for the interest of the userbase for having Pronouns on the site, and making it a native feature would improve on that vastly, especially for mobile users and people that are new to the platform.
I am very willing to discuss anything that Twitch could potentially need me for, so if needed feel free to contact me.

Many people have used Alejo's Twitch Pronouns extension to show their pronouns in chat, it would be great if this had first-party implementation!
Additionally, you can look at https://en.pronouns.page/ for a great reference of many different pronoun options, including other languages!

Currently, there isn’t an option built-in to Twitch itself to add pronouns to your profile. Streamers have to guess or ask about their chatters’ gender identities when interacting with viewers. It would be a better streamer/viewer experience if you could click on someone’s name in chat and see the pronouns they selected for themself as well as on their profile without needing to download additional extensions.

kunne man evt. gøre så man som streamer og moderator, i hvert fald kan se om brugeren er hankøn, hunkøn. det kunne gøre det lidt nemmere at tage imod en seer på kanalen i form af et f.eks Heej fyr, eller heey Girl.
