During Hispanic Heritage Month, leaders in the trans community are working to lift up a part of the community they say has long been in the shadows.

Data from UCLA show more than 174,000 transgender immigrants live in the U.S. 41,000 are in California, and of those, 38% are of Latin descent.

Khloe Rios-Wyatt founded the nonprofit Alianza TransLatinx in Orange County in 2020 to create a space of cultural connection and community empowerment for trans migrants.
