Trans immigrants who left Latin America still face mistreatment in the U.S.
A person holds a transgender pride flag as people gather on Christopher Street outside the Stonewall Inn for a rally to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York, June 28, 2019.
"A period of authoritarian rule just ended in Honduras, and a new president has come in, but being transgender means that there's very little acceptance in society, very few laws and policies that actually protect the life of transgender people in Central America, particularly in Honduras," Portillo said.
Health care for the people of all ages transgender community is also limited in parts of Latin America. Duarte, who is from Brazil, said transgender health care has come a long way in that country. "As far as Latin America, people come [to the United States] or they'll bring their kids to have that medical care that can be provided for them the safe and correct way." Terrazas said.
