SYNOPSIS

Transwomen face more difficulties in Latin America than in any other part of the world. In most of these countries, unchecked transphobia severely limits trans people’s access to education, employment, housing, and medical services. In Mexico, which has one of the highest murder rates of transwomen in the world, the prosecution of these crimes is regrettably uncommon. But despite these challenges, many transwomen live empowered lives; they live in truth and have found respect, acceptance, love, and fulfilling careers. Based on true stories—written and recounted by the protagonists themselves—TransMexico is built around the incredible lives of three such transwomen.

Our goal is to present their stories to a global audience, especially those who still struggle with who they are. We hope is that TransMexico will let the world know that the female trans community in Mexico exists, is proud, and will remain so even in the face of devastating adversity.
