Include Gender Conversion Therapy Ban in Community Guidelines
The community guidelines currently prohibit the encouragement, the use of, or generally endorsing sexual orientation conversion therapy.
This is good, but I would also like to see the same things being prohibited for gender conversion therapy.
Transgender people - especially youth - are often forced to undergo conversion therapy by their parents, their religion, etc, in order to force them to stop being trans. Just like sexual orientation conversion therapy, this does not work and actually harms the person undergoing it.
If Twitch truly cares about minorities, they need to include gender conversion therapy alongside sexual oreientation conversion therapy in their list of prohibited behaviours.

Hello. In my opinion, conversion therapy has no place at all. Violent actions to encourage someone to do something are against all human rights. It is better to contact good specialists who will easily understand your problem and find a solution. Therefore, I suggest visiting this site https://us.calmerry.com/ocd-therapy/ Maybe it will help you or your loved ones.

Conversion 'therapy' is a fancy word for institutionalized psychological abuse. It shouldn't have a place on any platform, Twitch included.
