Part of it is less fear of Twitch themselves but how some of the more toxic people in the audience react. Sadly if a woman does something like simply stand up and walk across the room showing their rear in an utterly ordinary way, some folks will not just say nasty stuff, they'll publish the clip on reddit subs like /r/LiveStreamFail and try to drive up a mob behind it. Then said streamer increasingly has this mob of viewers that's a combination of horney enthusiasm or hate watchers, neither of which they wanted in most cases.
Sweet Anita has had some great discussions on this. She has Tourettes, including ticks that violate the ToS, but has successfully negotiated things with twitch to make that ok. So Twitch isn't straight up incapable of nuance here, they're just being inconsistent and incompetent.
