Trans Kids and Families of Texas is a 501(c)(3) created to support parents and their transgender children. Founded in 2015 with the launch of their charter project DFW Trans Kids and Families, the organization has grown to more than 500 parents and kids across the state of Texas.
What started out as a parental support and therapy group soon morphed into a larger local kids and family support and social group, or even more of an extended family. This is an open an accepting group of people that has become tight-knit through similar circumstances and enjoys spending time together. We have grown quite rapidly since the spring of 2015 and continue to see our numbers increase weekly.
Our many members are looking to make changes and help the world understand that transgender people are no different than anyone else. Creating education as well as friendship and community helps to strengthen our cause and make people realize that our families are just like theirs.
Our youth in the group range from children affirming as young as 6 years old and on up to college ages and beyond. We do have some parents in the group with children who no longer live at home, and whom are starting their own families!
Anyone with a transgender or gender non-confirming child is welcome.
Our Needs
The scholarship program continues to grow. For 2020 we gave added college students entering their sophomore year to the eligibiity list. We continue to provide funding for transition supplies and post surgical care.
We are continuing to build our community with our inward and outward facing facebook and public websites. We have implemented on-line socials in order to foster and grow our sense of community and assist those who are struggling with isolation.
Mission
Create Community, Provide Support and Educate/Advocate for Inclusivity and Acceptance for All Transgender People.
