I really appreciate Oaxaca for being an open minded creative place and people. I would love to travel there.

Como ha cambiado la sociedad! En mis Amos de adolecente todavia eramos muy
perseguidos!!! Me alegra que por fin se este integrando la sociedad. Aplaudo la forma de pensar de la gente del Istmo! Un ejemplo mas de gente civilizada! Si regreso a vivir a Mexico mi primera opciion es tehuantepec, Juchitan, salinacruz o la ciudad de Oaxaca. Orgullosamente Oaxaqueño

While these photos are nice, the article is extremely inaccurate. Firstly, it is not a matriarchal society. Men and women’s work are considered just as important as one another, but the women are not in charge.

Secondly, families don’t raise their son to be “gay” and being gay and a “muxe” are not the same. Finding that one is a muxe is an internal process for a young boy, and is considered to be something inherant about the individual. Furthermore they are not always accepted and it can lead to family break up.

What is true is that they are generally accepted, if not at least tolerated.

all of the photos are of men. these are gay men, mostly dressed as women. aren’t they beautiful.
todo los fotos son de hombres. Estos son hombres gay mayormente vestido de mujeres, son bellas, no?

Hi,

Love this story! I’m curious to know…how do the families know if their son will be the youngest?

Are there family planning situations?

Thanks!
