Twitch Streamer claims she was banned for saying there\u2019s only 2 genders HelenaLive \/ TwitterOnce popular Twitch streamer, \u2018HelenaLive\u2019, has been permanently banned from the platform, and had her partnership terminated, following comments which Twitch deemed \u201coffensive toward the transgender community\u201d. In a YouTube broadcast on February 5, Helena claims that the only comments she made were arguing that in her belief, \u201cthere are only two genders.\u201d In the video, Helena also shows her phone with the emails from Twitch notifying her of her partnership termination, which was the result of three previous warnings in as many months. Helena says that she responded to Twitch, denying that she had said anything offensive to the transgender community, instead claiming she supported them. \u201cI was saying on stream, that I think, biologically, there\u2019s two genders. I think there\u2019s the woman and the man. That\u2019s what biology tells us. I specifically said, it\u2019s ok if a man wants to be a woman, and a woman wants to be a man, you cannot be anything in between. I said I supported the transgender community.\u201d Contrary to Twitch\u2019s claim that Helena was banned \u2018several\u2019 times in the past, Helena says that she has in fact only been banned once. Because the HelenaLive channel has now been terminated, no past broadcasts can be accessed, which Helena claims would vindicate her in saying that she did not offend the transgender community. However, some are doubtful that this is the true reason for her ban, and it may instead be a culmination of factors, including the previous warnings which Twitch claims to have given her. In their original email, they say it is the third time she had been reported for hateful conduct in the past two months.
