The Transgender Education & Advocacy (TEA) is a human rights organization working towards ending human rights violations against transgender/transsexual people.
Established in December 2008, the TEA aims to change the public mentality towards transgender/transsexual people through awareness raising campaigns, advocating for legal and policy reforms and empowering transgender/transsexual people.
Transsexual persons are people who exhibit a persistent and long lasting discomfort with their biological sex and undergo or have undergone a series of medical and legal procedures to transition from one sex to another.

Sexuality & Transgender People
The subject of sexual orientation among transgender people stresses the need for people to be cautious when talking about transgender persons.
The TEA has made concerted efforts to understand the concept of sexual orientation among transgender People:
Here are our findings:
1. All transgender persons are heterosexual/straight.
2. There was a category of transgender persons that had a different opinion about their sexuality. Their opinion was in the line of:
a. They were special and were not to be subjected to the common paradigm of labeling people as per their sex practices
b. As they have evolved, they have come to realize that their diverse sexual activities are not a subject of public discussion; that their sexual practices or orientation were private affairs.As we have evolved, our basic understanding of our sexuality has also evolved. It will be our way not any other way.
