Trans meetups in Mexico

Kor
Updated on

Mexico is one of the more conservative countries in Latin America. But gradually, they have slowly become more accepting of the LGBT community. This is the case in bigger cities like Mexico City and Tijuana.

But even though Mexico is a conservative country, Mexico has LGBT laws that are progressive. Mexico’s exposure to western pop culture has also reshaped how they view LGBT people. This is very great for trans women in Mexico.

Getting to know trans women in Mexico

Trans women in Mexico still face discrimination in many parts of the country. A lot of trans women have experienced violence in their daily lives. Their family values can also determine whether they remain closeted or not.

In most mexican states, sexual orientation laws are progressive. There are no laws that specifically protect trans individuals. This can be difficult for trans women. A lot of the violence they experience is often unreported. So there is still a lot to improve with the quality of life for trans women in Mexico.

Meeting places in Mexico

It’s important to remember that trans women are a minority in Mexico. There are no trans-centered bars or spaces here. So you’re better off meeting a trans-oriented man or trans woman near you at an LGBT bar. Here are some spots we recommend in different cities.

Bowie Club in Queretaro (CLOSED)

Bowie Club was one of the popular LGBT hangouts in Queretaro. They’ve since closed down. But the same people behind Bowie Club have opened another club called Blondie.
