My name is Alexander Switzer(he/him), I am a 24 year old transgender man born and raised in Tucson, AZ. I am the founder of Valid USA, a nonprofit which partners with organizations such as El Rio and the Reproductive Health Access Project (RHAP), to make free gender affirming undergarments easily accessible to transgender and gender diverse youth. I have been a program assistant with RHAP since early 2023, and collaborating with El Rio as well as  Northern, CA school districts since 2022.

Outside of Valid USA and RHAP, I proudly work with schools, educators, healthcare providers and various professionals to provide LGB-Transgender-QIA+ organizational trainings. Last, but not least, I am a grandson, a nephew, a brother, and a very proud dog dad to a 14.5 year old red nose pit-bull (ione), and a 5.5 year old shepherd mix (Otis). In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and going to California to spend time with my family and see the ocean.
