The Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA) is a non-profit organization based in Akron, OH, dedicated to advocating for fair and equal treatment of transgender military veterans and active duty service members. TAVA works to secure benefits for transgender service members and their families, improve transgender well-being through the VA system and Tricare, and advocate for open transgender military service. As an educational organization, TAVA helps the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense better understand the needs of gender-variant service members. TAVA also provides assistance and support to transgender veterans and actively works towards creating a more inclusive and accepting environment for all transgender individuals.
TAVA has been recognized for its efforts in the transgender community, with its National President, Evan Young, being honored on the Trans 100 list in 2015. The organization has also undergone a transformation process, including updates to its website and the installation of new officers, to better serve and represent transgender veterans. TAVA continues to work tirelessly to advance the rights and well-being of transgender veterans and their families, advocating for their honor, duty, and right to serve openly and proudly.
