One of my passions is the intersection between culture and psychology...here's a little sample of stuff I nerd out on related to a third gender that has existed for a long long time in a particular Mexican culture: It has been suggested that in the Zapotec culture of Oaxaca, Mexico, there is a three gender system which predates Spanish colonization. In Zapotec cultures of Oaxaca, Mexico, a muxe is an assigned male at birth individual who dresses and behaves in ways otherwise associated with the female gender; they may be seen as a third gender. Some marry women and have children while others choose men as sexual or romantic partners. Read more about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muxe |
