The Transgender Education & Advocacy [TEA] is a human rights organization working towards defending the human rights of transgender/transsexual people in Kenya. Transgender/Transsexual people who have been born typically male or female but undergo or are undergoing a sex change to enable their bodies match their psychological sex. Being transgender is an aspect of one’s gender identity/psychological sex not matching one’s birth sex. Contrary to common belief, transsexualism is not a sexual orientation.

Established in December 2008 by two transgender women (Audrey Mbugua and Samantha Kingo'ri), the TEA aims to empower transgender people (socially, intellectually, culturally and economically), foster camaraderie among transgender people and their allies, de-mystify transsexualism as well as challenge oppressive laws, policies and practices by State and Non-state actors. The TEA is a transgender owned entity implementing projects to break the cycle of oppression, poverty, stigma and poverty among transgender people.

1. Homosexuals

2. Intersexuals

3. Female impersonators

4. Sex workers (Prostitutes)

5. Porn stars

6. Fools

7. Doormats
