We at The TransLatin@ Coalition are devastated by the violent murder of Meraxes Medina, a beautiful trans Latina, who was shot and killed in South LA on March 20th. Meraxes is at least the sixth trans person to lose their life to violence in 2024, a tragic statistic that reflects the brutal reality faced by far too many in our community.

In recent years, The TransLatin@ Coalition has been at the forefront of advocating for policies that uplift and support the transgender, gender diverse, and intersex (TGI) community. Through collaborative efforts and unwavering dedication, the Coalition has played a pivotal role in shaping discussions and policies to improve TGI individuals' lives across the United States.

The recent deaths of Nex Benedict and Reyna Hernandez, a 54-year-old Latina trans woman from Renton, Washington, serve as a painful reminder of the ongoing violence targeting TGI communities.

On this International Women's Day, The TransLatin@ Coalition celebrates the incredible contributions and achievements of transgender women worldwide.

Here are five remarkable trans women who are not only breaking barriers but also thriving in their respective fields:

We mourn the tragic loss of Nex Benedict, a beloved member of our community whose life was cut short by a senseless act of violence in their school bathroom. This devastating incident underscores the urgent need for action to protect and uplift transgender, gender nonbinary, and intersex (TGI) individuals.

As we celebrate the journey of our remarkable organization, it's crucial to reflect on its early beginnings and the profound impact it has had on the lives of transgender, gender nonconforming, and intersex (TGI) Latinx individuals. This year, we are celebrating a year-long campaign showcasing the milestones we have achieved so far; this is the first of three phases.
