![]() sam / smokytea (they/them) May 26, 2021 Safe to say I've come around to the whole tag thing □□ One of my first experiences of the Twitch trans tag has been watching someone come out ✨live✨, their parents showing up in chat to support and everyone showing so much love and hyping each other up. That was such an incredible stream!! □ so many people were so so kind today and the trans tag pretty much only brought in a tonne of new friends – i'm feeling so lucky this evening ❣ i am overwhelmed from the love that all of the pals showed me today □ I admit to being unhappy with the tag limit, but I hope that Twitch doesn't put that on the backburner and that they implement that AND missing identity tags. I am very happy and excited that trans individuals and so many other people can now be represented. Definitely not a solution for Twitches broken system but it's something. You will not believe how many people I spoke to today who found me via the Trans Tag.

This involved speaking with the community and third-party organisations to ensure tags are culturally appropriate. The list of tags was also chosen to be as inclusive as possible, which took time to put together. “We were wrong not to have done it sooner,” admitted Tom Verrilli, VP of Viewer Experience, who said they spent too long seeking a “great” solution instead of going ahead with a “good” one that can be improved. The stream included guests from Twitch to discuss the purpose and reasoning behind the new Twitch tags and address why it took so long. ![]() “Your contributions and especially your activism have been incredibly powerful and absolutely inspiring and it’s the work that you do, the work of our community, that continues to make Twitch the place that it is and better and better as we go forward.”
