Trans, and gay erasure...

I admire the attempt to try to reduce trolling on the platform, but literally banning any mention of us starts going into some real fascist territory.

To me this only comes across as trans, and gay people life is something of a dirty word, or a insult like you don't want to be gay, or trans do you?

If you want to deal with these people ban them for being homophobic, or transphobic because we are not a insult we are just people who deserve to live with dignity, and respect not to have any mention of us banned away.

I hope you see the error in this so you can fix it right away please, and thank you.

honestly these words shouldn't be banned anyway... i understand why the word gay may be banned due to it being used as a slur but the word transexual definitely shouldn't be as its a correct descriptor for an actual condition, that would be like banning the word black because it can be used in a negative context... in saying this context matters..

also i'm not someone who wants to get into the social political stuff tbh i think that stuff is going to far as of late but i think someone who is gay should be able to say it as it is and same with someone who is trans

Censorship stinks. Ghost_sephiroth... i'm part of those groups. and how dare you.

There's individuals who use Gay and Trans on ESL_CS channels as a way of disrespecting those groups. Twitch needs to ban those words in specific channels only and it should be a optional to enable or disable this filter for all channels, because it benefits the streamers in certain circumstances when people abuse it for bad intentions, specifically the anti-trans movement and Russian cyber trolls, they tend to use Gayge in chatrooms quite often to show hatred towards homosexuals, aswell as trans people who they don't consider to be females. This is a real problem on Twitch that Twitch does not take into account at all, that is the REAL problem here. Sorry for spilling the beans yet again on this serious issue, which no one ever takes seriously, even Twitch. But hey, no one seem to trust the messanger these days. So it's difficult to make change when everyone is against everyone and no one is trustworthy.

bonanza077 if youre so unhappy with innocent people living their lives, maybe you shouldnt live yours.

My opinion they shouldn’t be on Twitch Using the women’s bathroom and their men they’re disgusting 🤢 Gay people that’s different I’ll support them. That’s fine transgender F them.

Haaaaaa heck no I will not support trans transgender whatever they going to women’s bathroom and see a little girls and women, one of them walked in and seen my little girl I would not support them F them

Lets get this changed!

So that's coming up on two years of this being ignored...

These people aren't pushing politics, they're just existing, I think it's insane that people consider this leftist or politics. But I guess it's leftist to think everyone has a right to have a space for themselves.

Keep your politics outside of my gaming

Twitch is about streamers, not games. Or do you watch uncommented gameplay on twitch? Of course not.
And sexuality and gender are a part of all streamers, so of course those tags have a right to exist,

To the person who said the following;
«No, how about remove those tags etc? This is for VIDEO GAMES, NOT someones sexuality. It has NO PLACE in here»

Twitch isn’t just used for games anymore, and I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this;

You need to move on, and stop being childish and closeminded.

Now, back to the actual topic, I think this is a great idea. As we’ve been pushed away for too long..

Celebrating over 1 year of twitch dropping the ball on this discussion thread 🎉

the word continues to be used to offend other users. mods should be aware of the context in which you are placed in the chat. The word by itself is nothing more than an orientation. but we know that in the context of the chat it is situated, not infrequently, in an offensive way. Until that improves, you will often see the loose word in the comments with an aggressive double meaning.

I only found out about this today and agree that this needs to be changed. I am a gay streamer and watch a lot of others in the community. That we can't say a word that describes us is insane.

Hey Twitch, this is an insane policy. I can't believe it's been an issue for this long, and you haven't fixed it and issued an apology. It's been 9 months. Address this immediately.

I am LGBT and I am disappointed in this. Please change this. These are valid words to describe someone and not a slur. Banning them makes this site feel less safe for people in that community.

Another transsexual voting yes to this change!

hello! the word transsexual is currently disallowed from appearing in titles, tags, or go live messages. i assume you at twitch have experienced feedback that the term is outmoded, offensive, or superseded by other words; perhaps also you're responding to the use of the term in adult material. i must urge and entreat you to reconsider on both counts! the term transsexual will celebrate a century of use since it's coining in 1923, and to many its not outmoded or offensive -- it's simply what we are. i'm one! my friends are transsexuals, the queens who i grew up with are transsexuals, many of the people in trans history i look up to and draw lineage from called themselves transsexuals. i have no ideological agenda in bringing this to you, no bone to pick with other umbrella terms, no desire to force people to use words they dislike. twitch already allows "queer" in titles and tags; although not everyone loves the term, it's open to use for those with whom it resonates. right now, twitch's tag/title moderation treats what i am like a slur, swear, or scarlet letter -- i simply wish for the chance to call myself what i am. thank you for considering!
