Remove the final bullet point from Article VII.

How is existing, as a trans person, political and equal to war, political ideologies that bring malcontent and prejudice to others and people who want to bring harm to anyone? How am I, as a transwoman and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ Community, hurting anyone?

Twitch, come on.

People's rights are only a political topic for those who want to remove them. This bullet will only serve to be weaponized against the folks who just want to live their lives

A bigot not wanting someone to exist does not make that person explicit content.

My existence is not a sensitive issue and should not be hidden behind content warning labels. Such a policy is regressive and caving to bigotry.

This can't be tolerated

I'm a gay neurodivergent furry

And this is cannot be tolerated, we aren't "sensitive social subject", we deserve rights and to be heard, this completely go against that
It is just pure discrimination

Not a single one of these topics are controversial on their own in any capacity, period. The controversy is entirely from people trying to take away liberties and rights of LGBTQ+ people and immigrants. These are serious topics and shouldn't be waved away by a clause.

If you are going to start labeling LGBTQ+ rights as a civil rights issue, and labeling civil rights as a “sensitive social issue”, then what about other minorities? It’s not okay when you do it to anybody based on their race/ethnicity, but now you get to force this on us? You wouldn’t see somebody who’s talking about their experience facing animosity based on racial discrimination living in an unfamiliar country be told to label their stream as “Immigrant”. Complete hypocritical bs. Stop helping people hate, actually be nice to your community.

Being queer, coming from another country expecting a safe place to live and thrive, and having the right to choose, are not political or "social issues". Twitch, be in the right side of history. Stand up for your streamers and your audience. Don't make a non-issue an issue.

I agree with how people who fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella should not have to consider their existence as political, as they are people who want to exist and live; it's almost like saying black people on twitch are political entirely because of the Jim Crow laws of 1early-mid 1900 US and of the laws of apartheid South Africa.
It's honestly unreasonable how we're in the state where people have to either hide themselves, or let others know that they are this way, so that they don't "infringe on their rights". Like, people don't "turn off" how they are -- so, asking a LGBTQ+ streamer to mark their content as such, is like asking them if they can "turn off" being gay, trans, ace, aro, intersex (, etc.,), it's completely unreasonable, especially since LGBTQ+ streams need to be marked, and are listed alongside war, warcrimes, or political unrest.

Thank you for listening to my rant, I hope you learned something new from it - from a disgruntled non-binary aroace.

People should be able to talk about their life's experience and be allowed to be human without it being labeled as "controversial".

We are human beings, not political topics.

Advocating for human rights among all marginalized groups should not be something considered sensitive!
It is an objective truth that needs to be discussed openly and freely!

My existence is not political.

People's existence is not controversial or political.

The existence of LGBT+ people isn’t a sensitive issue, nor is it political. This is unacceptable Twitch.

LGBTQIA+ people are NOT a topic, controversial or otherwise. We are people who sometimes discuss the goings on in our lives; just like everyone else.

Twitch, if you don't want LGBTQIA+ streamers to discuss the constant harassment, abuse, discrimination, and outright hatred to which we are subjected on a daily basis, JOIN US. Use your influence to support us so that the time when we are no longer considered to be "other" comes sooner; for that day WILL come, as it comes eventually for all who are oppressed. Be on the right side of history. Make your platform a safe space for us. Remove the final bullet point from Article VII and treat women, LGBTQIA+, and immigrants like the PEOPLE we are, and not some nebulous topic.

these topics are not controversial on their own in any capacity, the controversy comes from people trying to take away liberties and rights of LGBTQ+ people and immigrants. these topics are the same if it comes to controversy as rights of women 100 years ago or segregation in USA 70 years ago, does twitch want to stay on the same side of history as people opposing rights of women and people of colour?

Trans people like myself are not a political or controversial subject, we're all human beings like everyone else. It's absolutely absurd to an extreme degree that talking about transgender stuff and happiness are labelled as 'sensitive social issues', that only further silences trans voices and streamers.

Trans people shouldn't have to censor themselves when streaming on Twitch because wannabe edgy gamers and fascists feel more comfortable expressing their disdain about trans people existing and are more than happy saying slurs every 30 seconds or so.

Oh no we got cheaters and people advertising hacks on twitch on the daily but no lets censor the one group of people who pose no threat

I'm trans and disabled and neurodivergent and I've been thinking about Twitch streaming as one of the few means I might actually have to take control of my finances and thrive instead of constantly worrying about homelessness. These guidelines would destroy that possibility for me. This isn't just discrimination. It's genocide.

It's so vague that I as a Kiwi trans woman could get penalised for saying "So I went to a restaurant on the weekend..." because a trans person literally *leaving their house* is these days seen as a political and social issue overseas in the states.
