me relating with other trans woman and men is not sensitive social issues jesus

me existing, me just playing games on stream is not a "sensitive social issue"

I am not a political topic. I'm a real person.

Genuinely disgusting move from Twitch. This kind of foul moderation is the reason I stopped using Twitch.

LGBTQ+ folks are people, not politics. stop goose stepping and boot licking.

This change screams "anticipatory obedience." They're trying to appease regressive political figures and movements while still claiming to be neutral but this clearly favors bigots who see LGBTQ+ people as abnormal and our existence as a political topic. The same goes for immigration, with regular political parlance in America referring to peoples as "illegal" for not entering the US with authorization.

This feels like yet another discriminatory, spineless measure to appease advertisers desperate to avoid controversy; adding a special category means risk-and-moral-adverse corps can further reduce monetization to those who are queer, immigrant, ethnic minorities, or speak up on social issues. Twitch has once again thrown its content creators, its real workforce, under the bus in order to placate the companies who run ads on the site, at the price of our livelihoods and acceptance as peers and human beings.

Twitch, as you may note, i am gay, and i will not sit here and take it, i will stand up AND GIVE IT!

LGBT people existing isn't political. Straight people murdering us for decades made us political. How about you do something about the camgirls your CEO masturbates to instead of targeting a minority group that's being discriminated against on your platform BY YOU and your userbase.

QUEER PEOPLE ARE NOT SENSITIVE SOCIAL ISSUES TWITCH, ********

gonna be real, twitch already ******* sucks, and this is just them showing their *** at this point.

I am a person, not a "sensitive social issue." My existence is a right, not a "sensitive social issue." I do not deserve some kind of scarlet bullet point for the simple fact of my existence.

This section of Article VII must be removed immediately.

These new rules aren't okay. Trans people are people, not political pawns. We should have the right to talk about our struggles without it being labeled the same as literally talking about war.

I am a trans woman.

I stream FFXIV twice a week.

it's my stress relief, not a "sensitive social issue". twitch needs to do better

There is nothing political about someone's identity in any aspect. simply put this only gives power to those looking to harass and harm those who dont fall into a prepackaged and approved identity which can only result in a mass exclusion resulting in enough of a social culling to create a breeding ground for hate groups.

I'm not going to dignify this with any sort of drawn-out explanation, I'll lay it out straight;

**** this idea, and double **** whichever wretched piece of **** pretend human thought of it.

It is ridiculous and cowardly to pretend that these concepts are "sensitive social issues." You should be fighting to protect your streamers and viewers to whom these concepts apply to, not shoving them in the corner and hoping they stay quiet.
Find your moral backbone and stop bending over to people who just hate.

*Don't censor a minority when they're being attacked!*

If LGBTQ+ people existing is a "sensitive social issue" then so is literally everything else. By this logic playing games on stream should also be considered a "sensitive social issue" since some people think that games cause violence. If a science channel talked about the earth and how big it is would that also be a "sensitive social issue" since some people believe the earth is flat? LGBTQ+ people aren't political in any way, they're just people existing. So much misinformation and hate has been spread that our rights are being taken away.

*Don't censor a minority when they're being attacked!*

this point is dangerous and potentially harmful to the lively hoods of our trans and queer friends who are just attempting to make a living or just build a community!

I'm a trans woman, my existence is not political. Being trans is simply my state of being. Requiring a tag to talk about things in a trans person's day to day life while on stream is at best poorly conceived.

Why is twitch politicizing the existence of LGBTQ people? This is naked corporate discrimination against people for immutable characteristics.

Is twitch going to reclassify POC or women streamers as 'controversial' next? The shortsighted greed and lack of human decency is absurd.
