Rae-rae

Rae-rae are male-to-female transwomen in Tahitian culture, a contemporary distinction since the 1960's from Māhū (in the middle) the more traditional social category of gender liminal people of Polynesia.[1] Petea is a disparaging term for cis-male homosexuality used in French Polynesia, in contrast to traditional social category aikane used in Hawaii.
