Māhū

Māhū in Native Hawaiian and Tahitian cultures are people who embody both male and female spirit. They have traditional spiritual and social roles within the culture, similar to Tongan fakaleiti and Samoan fa'afafine. The terms “third gender” and “in the middle” have been used to help explain māhū in the English language.
