En la poblacion Zapotecas del Istmo de Tehuantepec, Juchitán, Oaxaca, México, se les llama muxes (‘mushes’) a los varones travestidos que asumen roles femeninos en la comunidad.
Los Zapotecas ocupaban un puesto especial en Mesoamérica como una de las civilizaciones más antiguas y avanzadas. Algunos de los primeros ejemplos de gran arquitectura en este continente fueron diseñados y erguidos por ellos.
Si bien la homosexualidad en esta región del sur de México hoy en día es tan estigmatizada como en otras partes del país, en las poblaciones Zapotecas aún se pueden encontrar vestigios de la tolerancia y aceptación que los muxes disfrutaban antes de la conquista.
