Trans Justice Can't Wait.

Heightened Scrutiny

In partnership with local community organizations, we will be showing an exclusive screening of Heightened Scrutiny and a post-film talkback with TENT and other community leaders who are shaping the trans policy landscape in our home state.

Post-Tour Report

In the fall of 2025, on our Texas Belongs to All of Us tour, TENT set out to 16 cities across the state to educate and prepare communities in light of the latest cohort of discriminatory laws.

Thank you to our 65 partner organizations across the state who helped us reach over 600 people!

Zine Volume 2

Submissions for our second volume of Trans-gressive: A Trans Texas Survival Guide, a zine by and for Trans Texans, centering the voices and experiences of BIPOC trans people of color who make our work at TENT worthwhile and possible, are now closed!

Stay tuned for the publication date of the zine!
