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 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

As a Texan, I feel the divide is more rural vs urban north vs south.

not as bad as mexico?? here lgbt is accepted and all states are pro gay marriage, and also trans rights are nice and there are a lot of nonbinary people in government positions, and they are respected
