The life story of a Central American trans migrant woman is presented whom, along with others, seeks to reach the United States but has had to temporarily settle in Juárez due to the pandemic. For the analysis, a model of exclusions entitled Vitruvian Order is proposed, which implies the multiple and intersectional operation of different criteria that lead to acute forms of exclusion, as well as a proposal for a localized analysis that links with the recent history of El Salvador. Finally, the text concludes that the collectivity is, as well, a strategy and a political commitment to resistance against the operation of the Vitruvian Order.
