History

The Latin American Travesti Flag represents travestis, a gender identity used across much of Latin America for people assigned male at birth who live as women but who often understand themselves as distinct from the term "trans woman" used in North America and Europe. The flag came out of travesti and trans activism in the region, where travestis have organized for decades against violence and for legal recognition. It stands as a symbol of pride, survival, and political resistance within these communities.
