Yeah, not really accepting because they aren't "allowed" to experience love or be in an open relationship. They are just expected to take care of their parents until they pass then be alone. Seems like they are tolerated because they provide a vital role. That kinda breaks my heart.
Way better and progressive then in the states. Some kids don't even have the love of parents regardless bc of their sexuality or because of how they gender themselves
@@r3drift you're comparing a whole country to one town. We have very progressive towns in the United States as well where most people/parents are very accepting. That's a very unfair comparison. I fully agree with the fact we have a very long way to come here, but you can't compare such a small demographic with such a large diverse one. I have a gay child myself and we live in a red state. I am fully supporting of them in every way. That also means I am happy they have a partner and a home with them. I don't want or expect them to take care of me because I am accepting of them. Our love has no conditions. That is my point I think you missed by trying to compare instead of understanding.
Yea but that’s not just a muxe issue, it happens in most traditional families here in México. Either the youngest or oldest daughter stays to take care of the parents. They aren’t exactly allowed to marry like their siblings. The ‘role’ that a muxe plays is similar to that, that’s why they are far more wanted. Just like the youngest daughter is more taken care of. It’s not ideal or good, but is the way things are, unfortunately, for several families. Mexico has a different cultural definition of acceptance than USA, but it’s up to you how that is seen.
@@alienmexicano1037 I am fairly progressive, so of course for me that doesn't seem like a fair way to treat any child, however there are many places and many faiths that have practices (usually toward women) that I don't agree with. Just because I don't agree with them who am I to call someone's culture or faith wrong? I can say I disagree and that's not how I would do it, but it isn't for me to say Muslims or Orthodox Jews are wrong. It's a very hard line to balance to try to be respectful of these things and not feel sorrow for those who are willing participants who want more from life but are stuck in their environment. Sadly I see that in this video and I am sure it's in many of these communities. For me the lack of choice is where the problem and hurt lies. Choice, not expectations. Hope that makes sense.
I lived in Mexico 2003 -2004, it was one of the best times of my life. So much fun and laughter. Everywhere I went they called me Morenitaaaa. Thy talk as if they are singing. I can honestly say I never laughed so much in my life like I did in Mexico.
Makes me extremely happy seeing them all happy and excited while preparing. You can see the joy in what they do. That's a beautiful thing. They have beautiful souls. Keep it up, ladies!
Love the acceptance. Please more messages for the celebration of Mexican expression of femininity. There isn't a need for westernization of our concept of beauty. These Mexican women make me proud to be Mexican. They are hard working, and family oriented, and beautiful.
i think this is wonderful, all of this people are not rich or high educated but they have respect for each other , something that most often doesnt exist in the first world countrys
Latinos know how to party for sure! What I love is that they are more accepting of Muxes then more progressive countries with the transgender identity or even drag queens/kings. Makes me happy to be Mexican!
I agree it sucks they are taking over and anyone who doesn't agree gets called intolerant even when being a Christian calls you to avoid such people unless they repent. Notice how a true Christian only avoids these people doesn't murder them in the name of God.

Giselle De la Rúa oh wait i took a closer look at ur ugly as profile pic. n you are a ugly man . never will you be a woman. no matter how you mutilate yourself.
Giselle De la Rúa exactly, but here even in church they are accepted. That is so refreshing. I don’t get why our society is so harsh. A trans person living their life minding their own business why would anyone else have a problem with that.
It makes u think in society how many people feel born in the wrong gender. But because of the way they get treated never come out. This shows that. They are not judgemental they let people be who they feel they are. So you see a lot more trans people. It’s really beautiful to see.

Im sure as time goes on it'll become more and more normal for everyone to have a loving partner.

Many indigenous cultures have gender variant groups but capitalism, imperialism and Western religion is trying to eradicate something as ancient and natural as humanity itself.
It's sad that American culture is so antiquated in their views of what can be beautiful. I've been to this celebration and had a great time. I'm a straight male and can appreciate these ladies in the video all the more because they aren't all inherently feminine and have to go that extra mile to be so and I can really respect that kind of dedication to anything especially one's own identity.
Such Beautiful & Kind souls ❣️💯 I wish EVERYBODY could embrace each OTHER & EVERYONE alike regardless of our differences 😊 I just want to hug someone after watching this 😁✌🏻
como me gustaria ke la gente de ciudad fuera tan abierta como lo son aqui ke las chicas son respetadas por como son y ke es gente de la sierra me encataria estar algun dia ahi ke bonito seria
fuck it. i still like Oaxaca... thats where we're from.. not the most luxurious place to live but hey the people are happy and thats all that matter right??
No it's not. Where i'm from the thieves, rapists, assassins are looked over for bribes & are happy but life is nevertheless shitty for the untouched natural inhabitants
Nicole, I travel Mexico quite often and have dreams to live there once I retire in 5 years. If I didn't have such a great career here I would be there already. Many parts of Mexico may not possess the glitz and glamour as some places here in the US. But its people are lovable and its culture is rich and giving. And that makes it one of the most adorable countries in the world. Que viva Mexico!!!
you're not mexican having mexican blood in you doesn't make you a mexica. only people that have live all their live in mexico and know how to muve in mexico can call them selfs Mexican

Ok I'm not Mexican, but I'm Colombian American. And I do say that these muxes live there lives the way that all want it. And of course out here in the U.S. we have gays, lesbians, metrosexual, pansexual, and of course trans who have been discriminated all there lives while in mexico these ladies never get any of that. I wish out here and world wide can just accept people for who they are and never judge them by there covers. They just live the same life as we do.
I used to go down to Mexico when i was a little girl with friends that had family there. I always had a good time and the people treated me very well, especially since i had blonde hair(they love blondes). It was always fun and i can honestly say they genuinely know how to party. It was nothing mean or perverted then. I wonder now that the drug cartels have ruined everything, if it would even be safe to go there anymore and especially for these people?!
Well cartels now are not as dangerous as. Before their "War" is over. And they dont mess with tourists. And also they are located in some specific areas and cities of Mexico.
ERIKA DOWDY that is why I said some areas. Maybe you are talking about Acapulco? That is the worst place to visit in México right now. But you can go to Cancun, puerto vallarta, los cabos or Mazatlán :)
Lupin mty yes. I certainly did not mean ALL of Mexico. It is beautiful in certain pkaces down there and they do rely on tourism BUT, Anywhere down there a person should be reminded- They are in a different country and rules and laws that apply in America or anywhere else DO NOT necessarily apply there. AND a person that gets in ANY kind of teouble ANYWHERE should always seek help from their countries Ambassadors. It they can get to them...... Mostly cartels are prominent by the border towns like Tiajuana, etc. I think?! Becuz most of their activities rely on getting stuff across borders. Right??? I could be WAY off though.
ERIKA DOWDY oh Yes the border is where their operations are mostly happen. But I have to tell yo that in the case of Tijuana, border with California, the situation is tensly calm. The cartels operates....if we can say civilized....there are low attacks from one to each other...but in the case of Reynosa border with Texas is out of control. The cartels owns the City :(
I hope this gets a thumbs up for everyone to see and to clarify: I'm Mexican and know what the Muxe culture is (vice did not explain well). In that small town from where Muxe are they have this culture were if the last kid you plan on having is born a boy, they cut his penus. Yes, they cut his penus because in the culture the last one born is the one that has to take care of the family (if its a girl, than its ok, they don't do anything about it). Being a Muxe is more then putting a dress on.
Again I'm no Mexican, but I'm Colombian American, a few years ago I have met a muxe who just recently moved to Florida because "she" was having too much issues with her family here. And she thought the life of these ladies and what they do in thier lifes. And she reaveld her self that she was actually a man just dressed up a woman. I never judged her. And though one time this muxe friend of mine was neglected, sexual harrassed, stalked and even discriminated harshly. And I said to her that if you dressed out and went looking like that. YOU WILL BE DISCRIMINATED VERY BADLY! As now she no longer lives in the U.S. she permanently moved back to mexico a few years ago. Again this muxe I had as a friend was a well respected person.
How much of it is in your best interest or concern you? Hungry children will exist as long as social problems exist, yet we know that there are people who help, but unfortunately we cannot achieve all these kids. It is very sad that this can't be done by all of them. Until then you can't blame these people for living the way they are, the best you can do is try to reach those starving children and help them instead of caring about what people spend their money.
Are you fucking kidding? How much do you give to starving kids? How would you like to feel like you're in the wrong body until you can get together enough money for surgery?
You guys im kidding, who gives a shit about starving children. Plastic surgery is much more important and will always be more important, you cant change my mind. I know there are very wealthy people who don't help others with their money, but does that somehow make it okay for us not to care either. Just saying. If you could feed starving children, or buy plastic surgery for yourself, and she had both choices, is it really right to choose whats both selfish and less important?
You are so full of shit. If you really cared about starving kids, you'd be bitching on a video about women getting boob jobs or ass implants. These people are completely different, it's not about selfishness, it's about feeling comfortable in their own bodies. You obviously can't understand that though.
They are such beautiful people, inside and out! I just love how content they are, how happy they are to be living their lives as they chose and with dignity! It just radiates from them. So happy that this lifestyle can exist somewhere, the rest of the world needs to learn from Mexico. Including the western world, as open minded as we *think* we are....
From comments I getting that I'm not the only Mexican that had absolutely no idea about this.. For a small city in this country, the level of acceptance and tolerance is amazing! Still a long way to go for Mexico, but this was nice to watch.
hermoso todo esto me encanto gracias por compartir este video me sorprendi ver esto video ya que en mexico hay mucha discriminacion eh ignorancia, yo radico en los estados unidos y me senti feliz al saver tantos colores y sonrisa un beso para todas ellas bellas chicas un besote desde Dallas tx
I'm straight, and I watched the whole thing and found it interesting. First, a very Catholic community accepting these people for who they want to be and celebrating with them at their annual party seems to be a very mature and smart move by their society. Second, parents seem to accept their children who choose to be a part of that way of life at a young age. I think people should let others live as they wish so long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others to do the same.
I'm sorry the priest in this video boggles my mind. How is hatred and rejection towards homosexuals a personal problem? The Catholic Church and other major religions indoctrinated people to have those feelings. Not a personal problem a problem created by the short comings of the church.
"I do not mean to be rude, but could you point out to me which part of that comment was hateful?" Yes. This is the behavior you should be approaching your kin with. Ask them how their target is hateful. That is wonderful. You are on your way to integrating with human society.
Es asombroso ver esto, que los Muxes no tienen problema convivir con la sociedad, y que tengan la libertad de expresarse y no sufren mucha discriminacion, algo que no sabia de los Muxes..
Fascinating! I am not Mexican, but applaud the open-mentality and acceptance of the Muxe; even if it is a symbiotic social phenomenom, it is much more liberal, less prejudicial and less harmful to the Muxe community. However, I find problematic that sexually and emotionally they are expected to remain single and unattached (celibate?) for most of their lives. Too much to expect from any human being who has not voluntarily embraced a convent-style life-style. If harmoniously works for the Muxe and their communities, great!
Awesome and honest report on the third gender. As time flies and thanks to internet, we all get informed about all kind of communities of third gender all over the world. That's the reason I do believe that every single living person is unique and respectful. Thank you, Vice team, keep going on exploring.
Such beautiful and wonderful people. I'm impressed with their dedication to God that some of them have. There are many of us guys that are attracted to Muxes, I just wished they weren't so afraid to express their attractions.
more like, confused. I was confused once when I was a child. I didn't give in though cause I new it was wrong. But that's just me. so don't cuss me out.
I love it when people say "OMG there are just WAY more than only two genders. . . .because see (points at map) there are like 8 men in places like Oaxaca who dress like women and put on drag shows for the drunks! #ScientificProof"
Well damn, I had heard of muxes before but I didn't knew much about it. I definitely don't know my own country at all. So cool that muxes are accepted somewhere, I wish the whole country accepted them as well. Although I don't like that they are not allowed to be with someone else, that part is not fair and sad.
nop in mexico transgender is call transgender. but they called like that because just like they said they live in a tawn where there believes are different
nop in mexico transgender is call transgender. but they called like that because just like they said they live in a tawn where there believes are different
nope... in Mexico, muxes are part of a tradition and a custom of Oaxaca, where one of the son is chosen to take care of the parents and may act as woman, it's consider a 3rd gender (as transgender as well), and is ancient tradition that comes prior spanish colonization.
"You don't know me by the way." That's actually exactly what I was thinking, being able to correspond with you face to would make this much easier. I don't know you personally which makes it even harder to judge character, which I had said something along those lines earlier when commenting about how you, and read it carefully this time, seem to be negative. My message was simply to enjoy life instead of let it get the best of you. As for the preacher thing those are my own reasons.
Yeah, not really accepting because they aren't "allowed" to experience love or be in an open relationship. They are just expected to take care of their parents until they pass then be alone. Seems like they are tolerated because they provide a vital role. That kinda breaks my heart.

Even Brown brazil is the most transphobic

Did we watch the same doc? Conditional acceptance is not full acceptance
Sorry but us men don’t want to be fooled by another man that looks like a woman because sometimes, they never tell the truth.

It's sad that American culture is so antiquated in their views of what can be beautiful. I've been to this celebration and had a great time. I'm a straight male and can appreciate these ladies in the video all the more because they aren't all inherently feminine and have to go that extra mile to be so and I can really respect that kind of dedication to anything especially one's own identity.
13:37 our nation could learn something from this guy
Haha lol
More transexuals means less breeding, and mankind could do without so much multiplication either way...
I want to visit here. So much respect and love. Thank you :-)
I loved this! It makes me want to learn spanish and visit there. It seems like such a nice community
similar to the Polynesian tribes they have a 3rd gender i think it always been like that in native American and indigenous communitys
Mexico is so damn interesting haha
que hermosa cultura y tradiciones tienen en Mexico! tengo muchas ganas de ir algún día! Saludos desde Chile
Such Beautiful & Kind souls ❣️💯 I wish EVERYBODY could embrace each OTHER & EVERYONE alike regardless of our differences 😊 I just want to hug someone after watching this 😁✌🏻
Lol even the Priest there accepted the Muxes
*****
?
ichabod smith please don't spread hate amongst the world
como me gustaria ke la gente de ciudad fuera tan abierta como lo son aqui ke las chicas son respetadas por como son y ke es gente de la sierra me encataria estar algun dia ahi ke bonito seria
fuck it. i still like Oaxaca... thats where we're from.. not the most luxurious place to live but hey the people are happy and thats all that matter right??
No it's not. Where i'm from the thieves, rapists, assassins are looked over for bribes & are happy but life is nevertheless shitty for the untouched natural inhabitants
Nicole, I travel Mexico quite often and have dreams to live there once I retire in 5 years. If I didn't have such a great career here I would be there already. Many parts of Mexico may not possess the glitz and glamour as some places here in the US. But its people are lovable and its culture is rich and giving. And that makes it one of the most adorable countries in the world. Que viva Mexico!!!
That is the shitty logic that destroys nations, lady.
Meep Moop Fuck nations and borders. We actually NEED to destroy them.
Meep Moop Whatever... bye.
The priest is a very wise man.
I'm mxican 29 year old... just now I've heard about this muxe thing o_o... what other secrests are you hidding from me mexico... TELL MEEEE!!! >_
+DubiaFluctuant
There are trolls living in your computer. And most aren't from Mexico. Creepy, right?
you're not mexican having mexican blood in you doesn't make you a mexica. only people that have live all their live in mexico and know how to muve in mexico can call them selfs Mexican
Si mis ancestros no hubieran perdonado la vida a los tuyos no estarias hablando estas estupideces, en fin hasta el idoma que usas es ingles, o español. Pero hablas nahuatl? No verdad? asi que mejor ni digas nada, antes bien deberias agradecer que a diferencia de los vecinos del norte mis ancestros si te permitieron existir.
Amigo vajale a la marihuana que te esta afectando. soy mexicano. y que tiene que ver el nahual. y si hablo ingles es por que el ingles es una lengua que se le inculca a los estudiantes en las escuelas. y no entiendo eso de perdonar la vida y el vecino de el norte. DEJA LA DROGA PA QUE TE ESTA MATANDO LAS NEURONAS. si me quieres contestar en tu lengua natal adelante solo tengo que usar un traductor. por que nada de lo que escribiste tiene centido
DubiaFluctuant los dejaron vivir porque querían esclavizados pendejo.. no por buenos baboso...
Ok I'm not Mexican, but I'm Colombian American. And I do say that these muxes live there lives the way that all want it. And of course out here in the U.S. we have gays, lesbians, metrosexual, pansexual, and of course trans who have been discriminated all there lives while in mexico these ladies never get any of that. I wish out here and world wide can just accept people for who they are and never judge them by there covers. They just live the same life as we do.
I used to go down to Mexico when i was a little girl with friends that had family there. I always had a good time and the people treated me very well, especially since i had blonde hair(they love blondes). It was always fun and i can honestly say they genuinely know how to party. It was nothing mean or perverted then. I wonder now that the drug cartels have ruined everything, if it would even be safe to go there anymore and especially for these people?!
Well cartels now are not as dangerous as. Before their "War" is over. And they dont mess with tourists.
And also they are located in some specific areas and cities of Mexico.
Lupin mty yes they do sometimes. I have heard of kidnappings for ransoms and just abductions.
ERIKA DOWDY that is why I said some areas. Maybe you are talking about Acapulco? That is the worst place to visit in México right now.
But you can go to Cancun, puerto vallarta, los cabos or Mazatlán :)
Lupin mty yes. I certainly did not mean ALL of Mexico. It is beautiful in certain pkaces down there and they do rely on tourism BUT, Anywhere down there a person should be reminded- They are in a different country and rules and laws that apply in America or anywhere else DO NOT necessarily apply there. AND a person that gets in ANY kind of teouble ANYWHERE should always seek help from their countries Ambassadors. It they can get to them......
Mostly cartels are prominent by the border towns like Tiajuana, etc. I think?! Becuz most of their activities rely on getting stuff across borders. Right???
I could be WAY off though.
ERIKA DOWDY oh Yes the border is where their operations are mostly happen. But I have to tell yo that in the case of Tijuana, border with California, the situation is tensly calm. The cartels operates....if we can say civilized....there are low attacks from one to each other...but in the case of Reynosa border with Texas is out of control. The cartels owns the City :(
I hope this gets a thumbs up for everyone to see and to clarify:
I'm Mexican and know what the Muxe culture is (vice did not explain well). In that small town from where Muxe are they have this culture were if the last kid you plan on having is born a boy, they cut his penus. Yes, they cut his penus because in the culture the last one born is the one that has to take care of the family (if its a girl, than its ok, they don't do anything about it). Being a Muxe is more then putting a dress on.
7:06 lol she is talking about PARENTS and it's subtitled as PRIESTS lol... same word is used in Spanish for both so i see were they got confused...
no they were correct their talking about how priest accept who they are but won't accept them if they were to be in relationships
*they're
DESDE CHILE MIL CARIÑOS PARA TODAS LAS MUXES ...Y MUY HERMOSA LA FIESTA QUE HACEN .LLUVIA DE BENDICIONES A TOD@S Y QUE VIVA LA DIVERCDAD ?
they are so beautiful
Again I'm no Mexican, but I'm Colombian American, a few years ago I have met a muxe who just recently moved to Florida because "she" was having too much issues with her family here. And she thought the life of these ladies and what they do in thier lifes. And she reaveld her self that she was actually a man just dressed up a woman. I never judged her. And though one time this muxe friend of mine was neglected, sexual harrassed, stalked and even discriminated harshly. And I said to her that if you dressed out and went looking like that. YOU WILL BE DISCRIMINATED VERY BADLY! As now she no longer lives in the U.S. she permanently moved back to mexico a few years ago. Again this muxe I had as a friend was a well respected person.
8:46 "I feel happy and I feel calm" (hears what sounds like a gunshot)
lol
It was a firework, and even in midst of the worst war some people find themselves at peace.
roberees treintaycuatro Yeah but what I said was funnier. :)
musicisbrilliant Yeah sure, i'M STILL LAUGHING
One of, if not the best vid I've seen from Vice in a while
Spent $7,500 on festival, $5,500 on "body modifications." How much was spent on starving children?
How much of it is in your best interest or concern you?
Hungry children will exist as long as social problems exist, yet we know that there are people who help, but unfortunately we cannot achieve all these kids. It is very sad that this can't be done by all of them.
Until then you can't blame these people for living the way they are, the best you can do is try to reach those starving children and help them instead of caring about what people spend their money.
Are you fucking kidding? How much do you give to starving kids? How would you like to feel like you're in the wrong body until you can get together enough money for surgery?
Por que no te calas?
You guys im kidding, who gives a shit about starving children. Plastic surgery is much more important and will always be more important, you cant change my mind.
I know there are very wealthy people who don't help others with their money, but does that somehow make it okay for us not to care either. Just saying. If you could feed starving children, or buy plastic surgery for yourself, and she had both choices, is it really right to choose whats both selfish and less important?
You are so full of shit. If you really cared about starving kids, you'd be bitching on a video about women getting boob jobs or ass implants. These people are completely different, it's not about selfishness, it's about feeling comfortable in their own bodies. You obviously can't understand that though.
They are such beautiful people, inside and out! I just love how content they are, how happy they are to be living their lives as they chose and with dignity! It just radiates from them. So happy that this lifestyle can exist somewhere, the rest of the world needs to learn from Mexico. Including the western world, as open minded as we *think* we are....
If these people are comfortable and happy living thier lives as they see fit who df are we to judge?
From comments I getting that I'm not the only Mexican that had absolutely no idea about this.. For a small city in this country, the level of acceptance and tolerance is amazing! Still a long way to go for Mexico, but this was nice to watch.
Que bonito que tienen una comunidad tan fuerte. Ojala este video manda muchas semillas positivas por todo el mundo. Muchos besos a todo las muxes.
Vice, as someone from Mexico, I thank you for bringing parts of my culture into my understanding.
that's a tough life either live as you are and die alone or find someone and be rejected by everyone
hermoso todo esto me encanto gracias por compartir este video me sorprendi ver esto video ya que en mexico hay mucha discriminacion eh ignorancia, yo radico en los estados unidos y me senti feliz al saver tantos colores y sonrisa un beso para todas ellas bellas chicas un besote desde Dallas tx
amazing, beautiful, i love my culture! let's fight for more freddom :}
I'm straight, and I watched the whole thing and found it interesting. First, a very Catholic community accepting these people for who they want to be and celebrating with them at their annual party seems to be a very mature and smart move by their society. Second, parents seem to accept their children who choose to be a part of that way of life at a young age. I think people should let others live as they wish so long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others to do the same.
Fukn love mexico
as someone said in the video 'live who you are'. how many of us can really say we live the lives want, not the lives 'society' says we should?
Es interesante la posicion de la iglesia que no condena ni mucho menos juzga a la comunidad Muxe, si a si fuera todo el mundo seria casi perfecto
3:29 more than 6 years later a muxe actually made it on the cover of British and Mexican Vogue
I wanted to watch something interestingly weird on a boring Saturday and now I found it.
me to and now I found your comment
This is so fucking awesome. Mexico was doing gender equality right before it even was cool.
I'm sorry the priest in this video boggles my mind. How is hatred and rejection towards homosexuals a personal problem? The Catholic Church and other major religions indoctrinated people to have those feelings. Not a personal problem a problem created by the short comings of the church.
I just want to say it is nice to other cultures. I think what they do for themselves is awesome they deserve to be happy. Good video.
Beautiful country, fishing might be major product of the region
Never heard of this before, but it can not be a coincidence that muxes sounds like muse -
Thats what they are..an Inspiration .
Loved this💕
They are GORGEOUS!!
"I do not mean to be rude, but could you point out to me which part of that comment was hateful?"
Yes. This is the behavior you should be approaching your kin with. Ask them how their target is hateful. That is wonderful. You are on your way to integrating with human society.
What a fascinating culture!
Es asombroso ver esto, que los Muxes no tienen problema convivir con la sociedad, y que tengan la libertad de expresarse y no sufren mucha discriminacion, algo que no sabia de los Muxes..
Muxe= Mexican Lady Boys
THE MORE YOU KNOW!
Fascinating! I am not Mexican, but applaud the open-mentality and acceptance of the Muxe; even if it is a symbiotic social phenomenom, it is much more liberal, less prejudicial and less harmful to the Muxe community. However, I find problematic that sexually and emotionally they are expected to remain single and unattached (celibate?) for most of their lives. Too much to expect from any human being who has not voluntarily embraced a convent-style life-style. If harmoniously works for the Muxe and their communities, great!
10:09 oopsy tho hahahahha
haha i didn't notice that the first time. i went back and wooopsy. lol
Awesome and honest report on the third gender. As time flies and thanks to internet, we all get informed about all kind of communities of third gender all over the world. That's the reason I do believe that every single living person is unique and respectful. Thank you, Vice team, keep going on exploring.
awesome
Such beautiful and wonderful people. I'm impressed with their dedication to God that some of them have. There are many of us guys that are attracted to Muxes, I just wished they weren't so afraid to express their attractions.
Rock on ladies
Their dresses are amazing!! Especially the traditional Mexican ones and the ones that are like a mix of modern and traditional like at 15:48.
more like, confused. I was confused once when I was a child. I didn't give in though cause I new it was wrong. But that's just me. so don't cuss me out.
shhhhhhh just stop you're ignorant and uneducated
+Jessica Yunker umm, do i know you? Me, uneducated? Ha!
they're not confused, and you're wrong . and no, I wouldn't like to know a person like you .
+Jessica Yunker yes you would sweety.
M vg bc gg grgc no I wouldn't ? lmfaooooooooo
The entire time I was watching this I was just thinking of one thing....A BOX OF BEER FOR 10$>!>!??!?!?!?>!?!?
I love it when people say "OMG there are just WAY more than only two genders. . . .because see (points at map) there are like 8 men in places like Oaxaca who dress like women and put on drag shows for the drunks! #ScientificProof"
Well damn, I had heard of muxes before but I didn't knew much about it. I definitely don't know my own country at all.
So cool that muxes are accepted somewhere, I wish the whole country accepted them as well. Although I don't like that they are not allowed to be with someone else, that part is not fair and sad.
Can i say i really hate that intro video, it's creepy
+kyle xg Es totalmente kitsch, a mi me encanta :)
Thats the jam dude...
God..why is it so hard for people to have an opposing opinion without somebody getting mad that they don't think like them?
INTERESANTE Y EDUCATIVO! XD
When is the Vela date? I would love to see one in person. Any information?
So "muxe" is a mexican word for "transgender", right?
nop in mexico transgender is call transgender. but they called like that because just like they said they live in a tawn where there believes are different
nop in mexico transgender is call transgender. but they called like that because just like they said they live in a tawn where there believes are different
nope... in Mexico, muxes are part of a tradition and a custom of Oaxaca, where one of the son is chosen to take care of the parents and may act as woman, it's consider a 3rd gender (as transgender as well), and is ancient tradition that comes prior spanish colonization.
Noe del Rio ok...
"You don't know me by the way."
That's actually exactly what I was thinking, being able to correspond with you face to would make this much easier. I don't know you personally which makes it even harder to judge character, which I had said something along those lines earlier when commenting about how you, and read it carefully this time, seem to be negative. My message was simply to enjoy life instead of let it get the best of you. As for the preacher thing those are my own reasons.
