Experiment: used the Transgender tag on Twitch for a week.
Result: every stream a small number of accounts with absolutely horrible usernames follow, sometimes spam similar hostile messages in chat, usually get nuked by chatbot or moderators.
Accounts always banned in hours.

So if I scroll through the stream manager, among new followers there's just a bunch of "Unknown User"s which is pretty funny.
It looks like it's a very small number of people or even an individual scrolling the tag and just doing it across streams. Pretty sad really.

Personally it's more funny than anything else but it's mostly a problem for chatters who really don't wanna see that stuff.
*sigh* at least it's not Balkanposting
Scariest twitch chat experiences often involve Balkanposting
Also I did enjoy a moment when a trans guy streamer got the same followers I did, with "u-will-never-be-a-woman-123" spamming in chat. something something accidentally based
Importantly, this happens to a lot of other minority and marginalised groups on Twitch, just as it does on this hellsite. Trans people are by no means the only bunch.
