I thought that this was a fascinating article about a subculture I knew nothing about, that of muxe in Chiapas.

From that article:

Acceptance of a child who feels he is a muxe is not unanimous; some parents force such children to fend for themselves. But the far more common sentiment appears to be that of a woman who takes care of her grandson, Carmelo, 13.

“It is how God sent him,” she said.


Plus or minus the pronoun issue - thanks be to God for your people know and honor you in righteousness and peace.

Thanks Tsuga, it's lovely to get good news.
