Muxes (also spelled "muxhes") are AMAB (assigned male at birth) people in Zapotec cultures in Oaxaca (southern Mexico) who dress and behave in ways otherwise associated with the female gender; they may be seen as a third gender. Some marry women and have children while others choose men as sexual or romantic partners.

Travestis is a term used in some South American cultures to refer to AMAB people who have a feminine gender identity and are local socio-political identity.
