In South America theres also the whole Travesti identity (people who were assigned male at birth and develop a feminine gender identity) the term used to be a slur, but recently trans and travesti people have been using it in a positive way. Some people consider it a third gender in the context of South American society.
In Brazil I think theres like two trans females politicians (One is in the more radical wing of President Lula da Silva Party, and the other is part of the Trabalhismo/Vargas Party, which is basically Brazil's version of left-wing peronism). In Chile theres Emilia Schneider, In Ecuador theres Diane Rodríguez (She seems to still have a close relation with Leftist Former President Rafael Correa). And in Venezuela there is Tamara Adrián, but she is cringe and part of Anti-Chavista movement, she literally supports zionism and racism against natives.
