I asked #LukasAvendaño, who I had seen in trousers earlier in the day but now was wearing a traditional black skirt with colourful embroidered flowers called an enagua. We were speaking in Spanish, with its gendered nouns and pronouns. 'I prefer you’d just call me sweetheart,' Avendaño giggled.
"Here, in the Istmo de Tehuantepec region in Mexico’s southern state of Oaxaca, there are three genders: #female, #male and #muxes. This third classification has been acknowledged and celebrated since #PreHispanic times, and it’s hard to imagine life without muxes here.
