I and many members of my community belong to at least one of the groups here. We talk about it all the time because it's about us, because the point of my streams is the community that chooses to gather there, and we're going to keep talking about ourselves because there's nothing "sensitive" about the everyday lives of everyday people.

As someone who is openly a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, the child of an immigrant- the fact that my existence alone is considered “sensitive” is absolutely RIDICULOUS. This whole thing is nothing but a bigoted attempt to limit us as people simply because of who we are.

My existence is not a sensitive subject.

My existence as an openly lesbian, genderfluid, nonbinary, Black-Mexican person is NOT A SENSITIVE SUBJECT.

This entire article is bordering, if not crossing the line of bigotry and discrimination.

Do f**king better.

My existence is not yours to limit.

OUR EXISTENCE IS NOT YOURS TO LIMIT.

An entire community cannot be considered a sensitive social issue. The pursuit of justice and freedom and equality cannot be considered sensitive social issues.
People have the right to speak on what pertains to their daily lives; their existence is not a political stance, they have the right to exist the same way I do.

The attempt to censor the spread of information and cover-up injustice is how authoritian regimes gain power, by making you afraid to speak. Censoring speech like this is not the same thing as establishing a safe environment or preventing hate.

Attempting to mitigate polarized individuals from spreading hate does not start by banning individuals just trying to exist, it's what these 'polarizing individuals' want. Do not do this.

The existence of an entire community cannot and should not be considered a sensitive social issue full stop. My existence is not a political stance or opinion. Please reconsider this policy.

Since when is a group of people a “sensitive topic”?
LGCTQIA+ is not a sensitive social topic at all. It is a minority that this rule is going to hinder. Sounds like discrimination to me.

Our existence is not a 'sensitive political issue'.

A lot of trans people get bullied, harassed, discriminated and even given death threats for existing because of being trans, and it's ridiculous. A lot of trans kids self harm or even take their own lives due to the hate they receive, heck I myself even had thoughts of doing that because society makes us feel lesser than and going to therapy isn't going to help with anything if we're discriminated daily for just existing.

Please consider removing the final bullet point from Article VII.

What. The. Literal. F***. Twitch.
To repeating what other people have already said...
Our existence is not a political or sensitive social issue.
OUR EXISTENCE IS NOT A POLITICAL OR SENSITIVE SOCIAL ISSUE.
OUR. EXISTENCE. IS. NOT. A. POLITICAL. OR. SENSITIVE. SOCIAL. ISSUE.

LGBTQ+ is not a "sensitive social issue"

Our existence is not a "controversial topic".

Our lives are not a "sensitive topic".

We will not be silenced.

I’m not a sensitive issue, I’m a human being.

I am not a “sensitive social issue”.
My right to live is not a a “sensitive social issue”.
Saying these things does not constitute a a “sensitive social issue”.
Speaking out about legislation that threatens me and my community is not a a “sensitive social issue”.

An entire community cannot be considered a sensitive social issue. The pursuit of justice and freedom and equality cannot be considered sensitive social issues.

People have the right to speak on what pertains to their daily lives; my existence is not a political stance, I just exist.

The attempt to censor the spread of information and injustice is how facial regimes gain power. You cannot be party to political censorship. It is not the same thing as establishing a safe environment or preventing hate.

Attempting to mitigate polarized individuals from spreading hate does not start by banning individuals just trying to exist. Do not do this.

we Exist for many reasons, Non-binary folks Like myself, and She/Her pronouns have a right to stream, furries and everyone who are LGBTQIA+ Are welcomed on the platform, this is Not sensitive and I Just wish The community in twitch understood that the policy would understand that this clause was never needed in the first place, we All Deserve to be equal, and VTubers have a respect as much as the Pride community does too, I Signed this because, Equality matters.

Twitch, this is NOT ok! Learn from history, as it seems you are becoming doomed to repeat it! You're putting LGBTQIA+ groups in danger. LGBTQIA rights are human rights. This is pushing the line of discrimination, and should not have been implemented in the first place.

I thought Twitch was perfectly fine with queer people? Why are we suddenly a "sensitive/controversial topic"?...

Really hope y'all reconsider, cuz this hurts quite a bit...

Me transfem who plans to start streaming soon. My very existence should not be treated as a controversial topic and politics should never play a role in how I choose to exist comfortably in my own body.

We all exist. All members of the community exist, and that existence is not controversial or equivalent to wars or political protests. We're human beings like anyone else and our existence should not be labeled as anything other than that.

Why this and why now Twitch? Please don't.

A portion of society cannot be "an issue". LGBTQ+ people and immigrants are a portion of society. Maybe anti-LGBTQ+, anti-immigrant, and anti-abortion ideologies should be classified as "sensitive social issues" and should be be treated as such.
