I am trans, I wake up and I am trans, I exist, people ask questions. Should my existence be flagged just because I am alive? No. This is not acceptable.

Don't be homophobic.

I agree! LGBTQ+ creators like myself shouldn't be hidden by a content warning just because of who we are.

This might just be the worst idea Twitch has had yet. Requiring marginalized groups to have a certain label on their streams in order to speak about their own life experiences leads to horrific consequences. There are people out there who want to hurt us, and will use everything in their power, politically and otherwise, to do so. Our existence is not political.

My loved ones' existence is not explicit. My loved ones' existence is not political.

My loved ones simply exist as they are.

For about... I'd say 3 years now, I've been saving up to get a good set up.i want to stream. But as a trans person, the fact that my existence needs to be flagged makes me not want to even have an account anymore.
This is unnecessary. Flag talk of elections and actual politics if you want, but not the LGBTQ+ community. We don't deserve to be flagged at a "sensitive topic"

Twitch can expect a big part of the userbase to be driven to alternatives like Owncast if they start flagging the content they classified as "Sensitive Social Issues"

as someone who already has to be careful who i talk about being trans with irl this has to go away twitch should be a safe place not a place for us to be seperated from the majority because we don't fit the status quo

I'm a transgender man who has only streamed on Twitch two times, but if this clause stays, then I will absolutely be taking my business elsewhere. My life and identity is not sensitive content, nor should it be marked as such. We do not need another social media platform that tries to censor queer lives.

Maybe instead of placing a bandaid over everything that's been happening on the platform in the politics sphere, you do something about the people spewing hateful rhetoric? Grow a spine, Twitch. This hurts more people than helps, especially those that aren't hetero straight white people.

If your goal was to limit the speech from anti-LGBTQ viewpoints, this was not the way to do it. If your goal was to protect LGBTQ people from harassment and hostile opinions, this was not the way to do it. If you wanted to make it easier for people to find LGBTQ content, this was not the way to do it.

Making a box where you can put everyone who believes a certain way is bad. Full stop. But you also want to put the people there who speak against these already hated people? You want the two sides of the coin to live in the same place and, what, be friends? This does not go well and will lose viewership.

How did this get past the furries in Twitch, anyway? Do you keep the gay ones outside of management position? I want to think the best of you, I want to imagine this was incompetence, that it was ignorance and not malice, but **** like this makes it so hard, man, and either way this opens the door for more hateful companies to do more heinous things.

This is restrictive and harmful to folks from marginalized groups. This clause should be revoked immediately as it will only lead to oppression and incorrect flagging. The existence of those who are not straight, white, and male is not a political issue and this smacks loudly of accepting only the views of extremely vocal people who make up a much smaller portion of the customer base than Twitch may realize. Do better, be better. This will only hurt Twitch in the long run.

Twitch silencing LGBT+ creators in order to protect anti-Semites is NOT OKAY. Streaming with a Trans tag should not be political. They are regressing instead of doing the right thing.

I am not political. I am a PERSON. I am part of the LGBTQIA+. Me existing is not political. Immigrants are PEOPLE! Everyone who isn't a Native is technically an immigrant. They are not political. Reproductive rights are NOT political. Everyone should have bodily autonomy. RIGHTS and PEOPLE aren't political. This is absolutely NOT OKAY! FIX THIS!

Between this and the antisemitism, I'm starting to think Twitch just hates minorities. SORT THIS OUT.

Dear Twitch, if you think that a person's self-expression and self-idendity, heritage/spawnpoint and informing people about those topics is a guideline that hurts people you have it the wrong way around.

Not informing people and being open about those informations is like censoring books, simply because you don't agree with them.

You claimed time and time again, that diversity is important to you, and apparently a giant topic of your website.
So why hurt those you claim to represent?

Denying selfexpression - especially in an educational context - is not just a horrible thing, but will in the longrun hurt more people than it helps. Aswell as talking about Immigration (there is no illegal immigration).
Every country requires diversity, in all kinds of ways. Disagreeing does not make it wrong.

If you want to keep it in at all cost, rephrase it that HARMFUL talk, such as downtalk or denial of LGBTQIA+-/Immigration-/, Reproductive rights and laws shall not be permitted.

Please be aware that pushing people infront of the bus just to appeal to a loudmouthed diversity hating group from twitter or other fascist friendly platforms is the most horrible thing you can do to your platform. Thinking for the long term is always better than short term.

Falling into the gender binary, being born in the right place, and aligning with your assigned gender at birth gives you a free-ride on your website. Otherwise it seems like this could become a problem in the future.

Let people exist without automatically being considered political or "explicit", seriously

I won’t pretend that you actually care about how people feel. So think about what really matters to you, Twitch.

Really think about how alienating such a statistically large group would affect your bottom line.

My existence isn't a political issue. Just let LGBTQ+ people exist in peace in public online spaces. We are not any less human than cis straight people and deserve equal respect.

Please remove this absolutely absurd bullet point from the CCG. People's /lives/ are not political and shouldn't be treated as a sensitive social issue.
