The muxes, an ancient transgender identity

Muxes are members of the indigenous community of Juchitán (Mexico) who are born with male biology but identify as female. Integrated into their culture since pre-Hispanic times, they only began dressing as women in the 1960s. Presentes spoke with Amaranta Gómez Regalado, a muxe activist and social anthropologist, who explains how tensions between the global and the local also affect struggles for sexual diversity in Latin America.
