In the Mexican educational system, inclusion and diversity are essential for an equitable society. However, trans adolescents face significant barriers in their education. This article explores the experiences of trans youth in Mexican schools, highlighting challenges and opportunities for their inclusion. Through policies, educational practices, and personal testimonies, it aims to create safe and welcoming environments for all students, regardless of their gender identity. Recommendations are presented to foster a school culture that celebrates diversity and promotes respect. Inclusion of everyone, especially those in vulnerable situations, is crucial for quality education and an inclusive society.
