Los muxes are neither man nor woman, but rather a hybrid third gender. Sociologist Alfredo Mirandé is intrigued by the contradiction between Mexico's patriarchal reputation and its warm acceptance of los muxes. Behind the Mask combines historical analysis, ethnographic field research, and interviews conducted with los muxes.
