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.
