My existence as a trans person is neither political or controversial. This is an unfair biased position to have as a large streaming platform

I exist continuously as a trans person and very rarely stream. Talking about these issues is talking about my life and the struggles I face on a daily basis.

why should i hide something that is a part of who i am ? i will always be a part of the lgbtq+ community i do not think it to be a issue i should be punished for.i am no degenerate i am a mom of 4 very lovely boys. now would you say that the simple act of parenting my children be seen as too explicit as i am a member of the lgbt+ community as i see it in your words this seems to be the case. is this going to be twitches dont say queer stuff.

Ahhh yes you trans people need to warn people that you're trans caus it's like when you talk about war death and destruction... You know?

As a trans person, our lives should not be political... f*%k you twitch, if you want to do something productive than flag those trying to politicize us and not those of us just wanting to exist as ourselves.

Gotta love how everyone's life that isn't white cis male is somehow "political" and you can't talk about "political" things...

my existence is not political

Being apart of the lgbtq+ community is not "political" nor is it "controversial"

In addition Twitch should never EVER give phobic losers any sort of platform!

This rule requires an unreasonable amount of moderation effort to enforce properly. Determining if a stream is "substantively" about a topic requires reviewing a significant portion of that stream. Since Twitch is unlikely to put forth the necessary resources, it means that moderation is going to be excessively inconsistent, subject to individual moderators' biases, resulting in negative PR and forcing LGBTQIA+ creators off the platform.

My life and experience should not be censored to the same extent as discussion of ACTUAL WAR. I am trans. All the time. Therefore everything I talk about is related to this "controversial" topic. PLEASE CHANGE THIS POLICY.

The "sensitive social issues" clause would result in Twitch being able to censor users who are openly in the LGBTQ+ community. Not to mention that this could be viewed as discrimination under Title IX, as the community is considered 'controversial' to someone in the company.

This is seriosly not okay twitch. why would you ever think this was a good idea

Is Twitch really trying to make Kick, the Twitter of streaming, look good? This is wrong and they know it

I only discovered the fact that I myself am trans relatively recently. Had I not had the support of folk around me and the actual genuine bravery of those who put themselves out there and voice what needs to be safe... I'd probably be locked in the same growing **** I found myself in. Is it really fair to do this to people who just want to live the way they feel inside? Is it really fair to do this to people who live every day of their lives like this? Some people will sit there and say that "Life isn't fair!" and "Buck up and take it." ********. Loser talk. You're telling me you want to just lie down and take the death by a thousand cuts as they take everything from you? It starts with small things like this until it escalates so much further. Giving them this ground only emboldens them to take more and more until before we realize it we have nothing left again. I don't want to catastrophize, I don't want to fearmonger, but history often rhymes with itself and boy that history is Not pretty. We're better than this, we have the capacity to make changes Now when they're feesable. Don't roll over like a dog when the going gets rough, stand up and fight for what you believe in. You may not get a second chance.
We have a chance in a world where things are rapidly changing both in good and terrifying directions. If we don't make the stand now, we'll get trampled and left behind in history as a footnote. I am tired of seeing weak people make dumb decisions that end up hurting large swathes of people when there is still the chance to make things right.

I can ramble on forever and I have other things to do so I'll cut this here. Just... please, what is so wrong about letting people live the life they want to live. To be the people they want to be. Often we say we're better than our ancestors, that they're "Of that era" and whatnot. Well, Prove it. Cause right now, I am seeing so many people cling to their archaic fears instead of embracing any sense of progress.

I wonder what F1nn5ter will think of this considering they are in Twitch's 0.01% of top streamers?

The only people who call this a a 'sensitive social issue' and demanding a change like this are the people that go out of their way to make people feel like **** for being themselves. No one should have to mark their streams this way just because they are lgbtq+ and limit their reach.

lgbtq rights are the same as talking about war absolutely wild

this sets a dangerous precedent , allowing people to filter out the voices of minorities which enables fascism indirectly. Everybody should have the right to exist. It’s not political to talk about these issues.

As people who get paid on twitch we have employment and Executive Order 11246, as amended, prohibits employment
discrimination by contractors based on race, color,
religion,sex,sexual orientation, genderidentity, or national
origin, and requires affirmative action to ensure equality of
opportunity in all aspects of employment. This is a form of discrimination based on sex and sexual orientation. Everyone else can talk about their problems but us?

I am disabling my account and streaming via YouTube instead until this bigoted decision is cancelled.
