Transgender Education Network of Texas
About Transgender Education Network of Texas
Based in Meadows Place, TX, the Transgender Education Network of Texas represents a vital community resource dedicated to advancing gender-diverse equality across the state. Founded on principles of trans leadership and BIPOC representation, TENT brings together thousands of community members, caregivers, and advocates who are committed to creating safer, more equitable futures for transgender Texans. The organization's mission centers on building community power through education and networking while addressing the systemic discrimination that trans Texans face in schools, workplaces, and civic institutions. What sets TENT apart is its deep commitment to intersectionality—recognizing and addressing the overlapping challenges experienced by trans individuals from marginalized communities. Since its founding, TENT has cultivated meaningful partnerships with local and national organizations while maintaining privacy and safety for grassroots partners doing critical work across Texas. The organization provides essential support beyond traditional advocacy, offering food security, safe community spaces, workshops, and mental health counseling to those in need. TENT's community-centered approach means that every initiative—from legislative action to crisis support—is grounded in the lived experiences and voices of trans Texans themselves. By serving the Meadows Place, TX area and beyond, TENT demonstrates that trans justice requires sustained community investment, collaborative partnerships, and unwavering commitment to the people most impacted by discriminatory policies.
