Focusing on the 2017 Trans Gay Caravan as a form of performative political intervention, this paper proposes the concept “migrating like a queen” to shed light on how trans women and gay men forge fierce relationalities to survive the gendered and sexual violence of migration. I argue that “migrating like a queen” is a visual and performative strategy that utilizes spectacular femininities as a common ground between trans, gay, Central American, and Mexican migrants
