Muxe (transvestite) of Juchitan, Mexico

Juchitan, Mexico: Simonetta (Jose de Jesus Molina) at the Juchitan Cultural Center in a traditional dress she rented for $50.00. Muxes are very common, and accepted, in this Southern Oaxacan region, which claims to not discriminate against gays. The matriarchal society is still driven by women but in flux in the machismo culture of Mexico. (photo: Ann Summa).
