Have you seen Coco the Movie? It is a 2017 American 3D Computer animated fantasy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios released by Walt Disney Pictures. The story tells about the Mexican Tradition of Dia del Muerto that is similar to the Philippine Tradition in Honoring our Dead love ones which is the “Araw ng mga Kaluluwa” or later we know as Undas.
I’ve search for a video clip in YouTube on my favorite scenes in Coco and what i like there is when Miguel make excuse to go to the rest room. You can the scene on 2:30- 4:30. It’s quite interesting that the officer told the Family of Imelda Rivera that they should tell Miguel (the living boy who crossed over to the land of the Dead) that there is no Rest Room in the land of the Dead.
Yes! There is no rest room in the land of the dead because the dead don’t poo and pee. Since dead people don’t poo and pee, the Genital Area are useless in the land of the dead.
Scientist may get deeper studies on the skeleton in order to identify the gender of the dead. But in after life, Gender is not an Issue. You don’t pee and poo there. While here on Earth still alive, people used to Identify us through our Gender. Doctors identify us as Male or Female because of our Genitalia. But in the Land of the Dead, in the Spirit world we are all the Same. Gender is not an issue there but on How we live our life while we are alive.
