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.

I have been working on spreading the link to this everywhere so hopefully Twitch will see this and implement this. It is such a small thing that would be so helpful and make everyone feel welcome and valid!

Agreed! It would be nice to just have pronouns as a dropdown field you can specify and then have that show up when you click on names in chat

I love this idea, I mean easily could put it in my bio but as you said sometimes they're not bothered to read them! Love this honestly.

That is definitely a great idea to use so that new followers will know your pronouns as they begin their journey with you!

I’d like the option to choose pronouns and have them be visible next to your channel name as a streamer (or viewer), like the way Instagram and Tiktok have it shown, instead of having to use a tag slot. Even though I have my pronouns in my bio, many people still ask. If viewers click on me directly, they don’t bother to read bios :) There are third party applications that make it easy for viewers to share their pronouns, but they don’t help the streamer as much

Just add the thing natively already, a lot of us already use a browser extension for this - how hard can it be for twitch to add it?
Because honestly? Being a woman on the internet is already hard enough and it gets double annoying when someone calls you a dude or he/him all the time just because you use a name that's not gendered at all and by that I mean, that it's a word or a name that has no gender attached to it. Unfortunately we live in a weird world where people default to male all the time. But women on the internet exist just as much as non-binary people.
Respecting others doesn't gravely injure you or whatever, it does not inconvenience you despite what some might like you to believe. It's just a common courtesy. You wouldn't go out in the street either and address a random woman with 'hey dude' or 'Sir' either.
