Trans meetups in Tijuana

Updated on

Tijuana was once known to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world. But over the years, it has become more peaceful. It’s one of the border cities between Mexico and the United States. This makes it easy for American media and pop culture to influence this part of Mexico.

This western influence plays a big part in LGBT acceptance. Progress like this makes the quality of life somewhat better for trans women here.

Getting to know trans women in Tijuana

Despite the progress in LGBT acceptance, trans women in Tijuana still face discrimination. There are some trans women who live their truth while others remain lowkey. Because of macho culture, trans women can experience violence here.

The great thing about Mexico is that they have LGBT rights that protect the community. This country is already a good place to live. But with LGBT activists and the government’s efforts, it can surely be better.
