"Our right to be different
is, in a deep sense,the most precious right we human beings have." ~ Lillian Smith
Our Mission:
The Mid-Hudson Valley
Transgender Association's (MHVTA) principal mission is
to provide outreach and support for our members, their families,
their friends, and to be active in the Transgender Community
and the greater community of the Mid-Hudson Valley, New
York. MHVTA is a non-discriminatory group which is structured
to allow participation by all those who support the transgender
community. We respect and support the right of free and
open expression and the right to be treated as equals by society.
We focus on providing an understanding peer support network
for anyone who would like to be a part of it and to assist
others who wish to learn more about the Transgender community,
acting as a Transgender advocate to other groups and institutions
in the Mid-Hudson Valley area. We welcome new people with
sensitivity towards their fears and concerns that accompany
revealing themselves to others. MHVTA aims to accomplish
this through regularly scheduled meetings, social events,
and frequent and open communication.
