15 Dudes Pose As Transgender To Take Over Women's Election Positions In Mexico
Hunh? I thought stuff like that happens only in California or Washington.
In the latest installment of Patriarchy For The Win, 15 men in Mexico faked being transgender so they could take over election positions designed for women in Oaxaca, Mexico.
"The indigenous Zapotec community of the isthmus of Tehuantepec has long recognized a third gender of transgender people known as muxes – who are born with male bodies, but identify as neither male or female," reports The Guardian. The electoral rules allow muxes to occupy candidacies designated for biological women.
Thus, using the parity rules and the loose definition of gender to their advantage, 15 men claimed to identify as women to take over positions designated for the female sex.
