Based on interviews conducted in a shelter for LGBT+ migrants in Tijuana, it is shown that vulnerability is expressed in acts of violence and discrimination by authorities, criminal organizations, and other migrants, in response to the sexual orientation and gender identity of trans women and gay men. In contrast, resilience developed thanks to the support provided by networks of the LGBT+ community itself in the form of chosen families and civil society spaces. From this, it is observed that even within vulnerability, mobility enables the development of resilience through new ways of living gender and sexuality. En este trabajo se analizan las experiencias de vulnerabilidad y el desarrollo de resiliencia en mujeres trans y hombres gays de Centroamérica que transitaron por México hacia Estados Unidos entre 2017 y 2020. Con base en entrevistas realizadas en un albergue para migrantes LGBT+ en Tijuana, se muestra que la vulnerabilidad se expresa en actos de violencia y discriminación por parte de autoridades, organizaciones criminales, y otros migrantes, en respuesta a la orientación sexual e identidad de género de las mujeres trans y los hombres gays. En contraparte, la resiliencia se desarrolló gracias al respaldo proporcionado por redes de la propia comunidad LGBT+ en forma de familias elegidas y espacios de la sociedad civil. A partir de eso se observa que, aún dentro de la vulnerabilidad, la movilidad posibilita el desarrollo de resiliencia a través de nuevas formas de vivir el género y la sexualidad.
