I get misgendered on a daily basis on twitch. I would love to have my pronouns displayed so I don’t need to go through this harm and I’d love to be able to know those who opt in so I don’t potentially misgender them as well.

It is FAR past time that Twitch allow users to designate their pronouns in chat. If someone else has created a tool that meets our need, then you can.

I want to add something to this - IF THEY DO this they then need to produce the security to prevent people from HACKING or ROLLING In - because we're already running into the consistent hate raids and follow bots from our tags - the pronouns may not make it any easier on us as users. I love the ability to be open about who i am - but i am not liking how easy it is to garner large scale stupidity. It's available in a chrome plugin and FrankerzFace plugin - but again, we need to see more accountability in protection before these things come in place.

There's an extension for this already - it should be super easy for them to make it but official

I know this is something they're ignoring, but it has a pretty simple solution.

Pronoun badges... There are normally 3 slots. I've got my mod sword.

Just let us swap out one of the three badges for a pronoun. You should be able to make simple representations in the small badge size.

It'd be helpful for everyone, really. In chat everyone's gender is a mystery and that can become awkward to verbally navigate in an extended conversation.

Its cool that you added pronouns to options if we wanted to add those to tags, but that only help the streamer and not users in chat and being limited to 5 we have to pick and choose which identity tags we want.

Having pronoun information on user cards/ beside someones username helps everyone and not just streamers.

its pretty simple add on that you could implement. https://pronouns.alejo.io/ is a very similar idea that you could implement.

Yea i'm gonna comment if i haven't already, the browser plugin is great - but it's not all encompassing in the sense that if you're not using it on a machine capable of parsing it? Ie: I don't see it when i'm streaming, but i do if i'm watching someone's stream. (Unless i'm in the stream manager window, and if i was doing that my machine would MURDER ME)

I understand this is more work for twitch, and i know it's a lot of development in some areas - but it would be EXTREMELY awesome if there was even an option in the profile section if we couldn't have chat - we could have it next to our streamer handles on our about page? (Like hard coded, not just we type it out)

:D

This should definitely be implemented. A quick easy opt- in to see others pronouns and display your own would be amazing. As an afab they/them that has been misgendered as male in almost every online space I've been in, even when I identified as a cis, this would help immensely and can't hurt at all.

This could add an element to make chat a bit more interactive. It will be much easier to not misgender someone if they can make their pronouns know and easy accessible

Would be a positive move - especially to help those of us more inclined to binary-gender-normative thinking

This would be great! Please implement this for inclusivity :)

I would love to properly address viewers when I stream. I can't see the alejo.io pronouns in OBS. Having them as part of or in tandem with a user's display name would be huge. Also, neopronouns should be included, so everyone who wants to identify themselves properly can.

There are multiple reasons why it's important to be able to see people's pronouns in chat:

They don't stop by often enough to memorize their pronouns
They only stop by a few times
Someone has too many viewers to remember all their pronouns

Not to mention the view from a chatter's perspective, where you'd have to be in a streamer's chat every minute of every stream and have a flawless memory to know all your fellow chatters' pronouns.

These are just a few of the many, but already make it quite apparent how needed pronouns in chat are.

It would be nice to see everyone else's pronouns easily and have that option easily accessible for any chatter.

With the addition of he/him, she/her, and they/them tags this only allows streamers to identify themselves, but with this -everyone- could share their identities. The three pronoun tags are also really nice, however there are so many other pronouns out there that are necessary for people to be able to identify themselves with.

This would help me so much because I have an ADHD brain that doesn't like to retain people's names, let alone their chosen pronouns. Help me out will you!?!

over 90,000 people have input their pronouns in a third party extensions. people really care about this twitch. if a uservoice had 90,000 votes i would hope you would implement this.

Here's the thing.
This doesn't just benefit folks that are trans or non-binary.
It *also* benefits folks that are cis too.

Why?

1. Let's say someone has the display name "RobotDestroyer9001". Do they use he? She? They? I can't tell from that display name, even though they could very well be cis.

2. What about cis people with names that are commonly used by both masculine and feminine folks? Chris, Jamie, Alex, Jordan, Charlie, Ashley, etc.

3. Then there's names which the streamer might not be familiar with because they're from another region. I'm based in the UK, I'm extremely unlikely to know whether a Chinese, Japanese, or Russian name is commonly masculine or feminine.

So, what's the reason not to implement this?
* It benefits trans folk.
* It benefits cis folk.
* It benefits non-binary folk.
* It doesn't benefit... uh... ???
* It hurts... uh... ???

Pronouns are sooo helpful and useful no matter what community you are apart of.
