I’ve noticed that Americans have a different stereotype of trans women to Latinos.

In America they think of a man in a dress and a beard and colored hair, but that’s not the stereotype I’ve ever seen in Latin America, Latinos always think of a woman with huge boobs and butt, dolled up but with a comically deep voice and is likely to be a prostitute.

I don’t know where the American stereotype came from, but as a Latina sadly I can say our stereotype comes from the fact we’re forced to be hyper feminine and do sex work to even survive but you’ll still be at risk of being brutally assaulted.

    Well I wouldn’t say you are more mean spirited… Taking into account that Latino men can be extremely violent to trans women, I think Latin American countries are the leads of trans homicide to trans women. European men are no different tho, I’ve gotten into situations where a man is throwing an adult temper tantrum because I didn’t want to have sex with them in the first date because in their mind I’m the lowest he could have gone for and I should be grateful for his dick 💀
