Transcend
About This Organization
- Purpose:
- Transcend exists as a community organization for the transgender, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming and gender-questioning community at Texas A&M University and the Bryan-College Station area. It serves as a support group for students and non-students to connect with allies and other trans individuals, to make friends and share experiences. We work alongside existing LGBTQ+, black, undocumented, and intersectional organizations and institutions already in place to further the acceptance, recognition, and fair treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and (especially) transgender people in the area. We provide resources for social, medical, and legal transitioning process. Transcend also serves as a reminder to trans communities in BCS that there are others like them, and despite Brazos County's anti-LGBTQ+ reputation, they have a space and a community.
