The Muxes of Oaxaca

In Juchitán de Zaragoza, gender roles are not as they are in most of Mexico. A third gender, Muxes, individuals whose assigned sex is male but who have taken on an a feminine gender role, are not only accepted, they play a central role in this Indigenous community’s life and culture.
