Transgender Education Network of Texas

Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) is the largest statewide, BIPOC trans-led, trans-focused policy, education, and advocacy organization serving Meadows Place, TX and communities throughout Texas. Operating since 2017, TENT delivers comprehensive services across three core areas: policy advocacy, community education, and direct support services. The organization works to accomplish gender-diverse equality through strategic education and networking initiatives in both public and private forums, addressing the intersectional issues faced by transgender Texans. TENT's policy work includes introducing proactive legislation to enrich all Texan lives while defeating anti-trans bills that threaten community safety. The organization provides extensive community support services, including mental health counseling and crisis resources for those struggling with discrimination or systemic barriers. Through corporate and legislative education programs, TENT actively works to halt discrimination at institutional levels. TENT's impact extends beyond advocacy—the organization offers workshops, community spaces, and direct assistance to hundreds of community members and caregivers annually. Based in Meadows Place, TX, TENT serves as a critical resource for trans Texans seeking policy guidance, community connection, and professional support during legislative sessions and throughout the year. The organization's commitment to intersectional advocacy ensures that services address the unique challenges faced by trans individuals across diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
