I live in northern Mexico, so my culture is heavily influenced by both American and Mexican culture of course!!! But if I ever visit the United States, specifically the southern states. Would I feel different in those states? Thank you.

    Texas has lots of different regions, and it even varies from town to town, but pretty much anywhere south of a line from San Antonio to El Paso is majority people of Mexican descent and Spanish is very common. In all the big cities in Texas there’s a huge Hispanic population, mostly of Mexican descent but also a lot of Central Americans. Even Austin, which people seem to love to deride as a “white” city, is a third Hispanic, and the influence of Mexican culture is everywhere

        nice nonbinary rights

        …you are taking about the Texas north of Mexico right? Not some other Texas that isn’t openly hostile to anyone not cis heterosexual?

            If you’re in a city in Texas, you’ll easily find people to connect with and will have little/no issues. In rural areas, you’re likely to find people who are less accepting of different lifestyles.

            Texas is politically and socially against LGBT rights. Maybe not as bad as Mexico, but you are likely to get hatecrimed in Texas if you are nonbinary.

              I’d be a lot more concerned in north or east Texas than south, central, or west Texas, which are all the parts closest to Mexico. Despite what you hear on the news, there are a lot of gender diverse people here and plenty allies
