  • Story Text:The Mexican trans community and supporters rallied on Monday (March 31) to mark Transgender Day of Visibility in Mexico City and marched through the streets to highlight their struggles and their pursuit of equality.
    A sea of trans flags and banners flowed from the Monument to the Revolution to the Zocalo square, as participants shared their experiences as members of the community.
    Javier, a member of the trans community, was hoping to support other members on their journey with guidance and encouragement.
    According to a 2021 survey by Mexico's statistics agency, INEGI, there are some 909,000 people in the transgender, transsexual, or other gender identity population that does not match the sex assigned at birth. That represents 0.9% of people in Mexico aged 15 and over.
