Just saw an lgbt-friendly ad before the video. Makes me a little bit proud.

Mateo! Que linda tu historia. I really liked watching this because I relate to so much of the experience of coming from various backgrounds and coming to the US to experience everything in binaries. I grew up with my grandparents in El Salvador and I am now back in the U.S. I identify as gender non conforming, pero I have started Testosterone. Thank you for much por darnos una vista a lo que es tu historia. Saludos!

I'm a bisexual Mexican and I happen to be undocumented. I am a proud fighter and belonger of all my identities.

I love Mateo! He is trans but has an ever-changing and fluid sense of gender, and understands that we are more than our labels! More than just an immigrant, more than just trans. :)
