Twitch viewers furious as platform promotes alleged \u201canti-trans\u201d charity TwitchTwitch has come under fire from its users after the platform added an alleged \u201canti-trans\u201d charity to their live-stream fundraising tool. Back in July 2022, Twitch launched an integrated charity feature that allows creators to fundraise for their favorite causes without having to use an external platform. The Amazon-owned site added more charities to the tool on December 7, to the tune of \u201ctens of thousands\u201d more. However, Twitch users are furious after finding out they\u2019ve added an alleged \u201canti-trans\u201d charity as an option. Twitch users furious after alleged \u201canti-trans\u201d charity promoted The charity in question, LGB Alliance, states: \u201cWe recognize that sex is binary, female and male, and that sex is determined at conception, observed at birth (or in utero), and recorded. We reject the co-opting of rare medical Differences in Sexual Development in order to cast doubt on the binary nature of sex.\u201d In the replies to the announcement tweet, Twitch users are sharing their distaste towards the alleged \u201canti-trans\u201d charity being added to the platform. A Twitch streamer replied with a screenshot of the description alongside their thoughts: \u201cDisgusting. Vet your \u2018charities.’\u201d Disgusting.
