Twitch is a place I as a streamer have enjoyed a great deal of connection and joy with numerous communities who have accepted me as a trans creator and let my voice be heard. Until twitch removes their placing my existence as controversial, and states that I am a protected class that is not allowed to be discriminated against, I am at a constant risk of hate raids and other attacks due to who I am. I was not able to participate in PKMNPRIDE this year due to risks of safety for myself and my wife.
I am not "sensitive content" and neither are my rights or the rights of those in my community. Do I have to label my own game dev steams as "politically sensitive content" just because it features queer romance and trans characters? Or is that also "personal life experience"?
Stop trying to have your cake and eat it too Twitch. It makes you look bad and our community tempted to go elsewhere. I don't want that to happen to a platform that I love. Please, do better.
