Muxe

A “third gender” and Zapotec ethnic identity on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico. Muxe (pronounced mu-shay) includes a spectrum of people who were assigned male at birth but don’t inhabit traditionally masculine gender norms. They have been recognized, celebrated, and played an important part in their community since pre-colonization times.

Note: When living in another country or visiting other states that don't have the same cultural genders, people with this identity may code-switch and call themselves trans women, gay men, or non-binary in order for their identity to be legible to others. For more.
