Middle Tennessee Transgender Alliance

The Middle Tennessee Transgender Alliance (formerly Tennessee Vals or TVals) is a non-political, educational, social, and support organization founded and intended to educate and support people about transgender issues without prejudice, regardless of sexual orientation, sexual identity, or gender identity.

MTTA helps educate and support those dealing with personal issues and concerns related to gender identity, including its impact on sexual orientation. We exist primarily to support transgender adults, but family, friends, and allies are welcome and encouraged to join as well. We do not serve the needs of transgender children or teens at this time.

Based in Nashville, MTTA also serves the interests of the transgender community in Middle Tennessee from the Kentucky to Alabama border through efforts to educate the public and promote a positive public image about transgender people.

Everyone on the transgender spectrum is welcome, from full-time or “when you can” transgender women and men to genderfluid, nonbinary and gender-questioning folks.
