ABOUT THE TRANSGENDER EDUCATION NETWORK OF TEXAS
Our Mission
TENT is an organization dedicated to furthering gender-diverse equality in Texas. We work to accomplish this through education and networking in both public and private forums. Through our efforts, we strive to halt discrimination through social, legislative, and corporate education.
Who We Are
The Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) is the largest statewide, BIPOC trans-led, trans-focused policy, education, and advocacy organization in the state of Texas.
Since 2017, TENT has partnered with community members and advocacy organizations to support trans futures. In 2025, we defeated over 90 percent of the over 200+ anti-LGBTQ+ bills filed in the state legislature. We also filed over 100 proactive bills to enrich all Texan lives, and provided the community with food, safe spaces, workshops, and counseling support.
