A scene from the PBS documentary KUMU HINA. Mahu is the Hawaiian term for people who embody both male and female spirit. Watch the complete film on Netflix, iTunes, or many other platforms. KumuHuna.com
You know, the pretty thing about them was that they were so excepted that they could show their masculine or feminine side in the open. They didn't have to hide it, be sad about it or judge themselves for being this way. They could be thereselves from the beginning. That's nice.

"Mahu meaning 'half-man, half women'. The category mahu used by Polynesians to refer to 'both' female-bodied and male-bodied.

Sadly in 1963 they passed a law on Hawai’i, that anyone wearing a dress and make up had to wear a button that said, “I am a boy,” or “I am a man,” if they were assigned male at birth. Or they could be arrested. Not sure when that changed. Or if it’s still on the law books, but not enforced.

@GrandPappi Stud Actually it is braddah, the Ancient Kanaka Maoli saw mahu as Special people cuz they possessed both spirits of male and female, its just that us modern hawaiians turned it into a bad thing. Ancient Hawaiians also preferred heavier set women, cause they represented better health which translated over to being stronger mothers. Our society just changed over time.
Ive met a few mahu in my life (the wonderful Rhonda of Molokai comes to mind) and all of them have radiated a "mom energy" that you could drown in. Hard to describe: theyre like automatic mommies and whoever comes to them in distress is automatically their child at that moment. That energy was nice to be around.
@@natannick8308It's okay to be a bit hesitant to these kind of things, humans fear things that are new to them, but it doesn't mean these people aren't wonderful people
I am so glad that the American religious oppression did not kill Hawaii's Aloha and Māhū... Hawaii was basically forced to be part of the united states, and that was wrong. It would have been better if they were invited to be part of the united states and help to preserve the Hawaiian culture and way of life. I wish we could have done the same with the native Americans.... Live in peace with them. But the christian religious beliefs are that they are following the one true God and everyone who doesn't will burn in torment after they die... Plus the prejudice towards non white people... Grieves me to my soul that such horrible things have have been done to such gentle people.
Wtf are you talking about, the god from Christian religion doesn't say "whoever doesn't believe in me should die" where the hell did you get that nonsense

It seems all of Polynesia had reverence or respect for their version of Mahu...it only changed when colonisers forced their barbaric belief's of gender upon our peoples
Yes, once upon a time the native peoples of the americas and Polynesia lived in peace and harmony. They never fought with each other, enslaved others, treated women as property or practiced human sacrifice. In fact, Each morning all the woodland creatures would come out to sing to them as they readied themselves for their noble tasks. Then, the evil white people came and took it all away. They ended slavery, brought things like penicillin, aspirin and iPhones. And their horrible western civilization notions of human rights, democracy and personal freedom to go with it. It would be better if things were as before.

@@natannick8308 Yup. A University of Oregon (UofO) Hawaiin football player, whom I did not know, called me "Mahu". I asked him what it meant, and he would not tell me.

Kumu Hinu you are a very beautiful and passionate woman. Your passion and beauty is extremely powerful. Your passion and love gives off very powerful vibrations of your true passion and love.
In most peaceful cultures, transgenderism, homosexuality and non-binary is accepted. Christianity and Islam was born in the Middle East, a center for warfare and conquest. Christianity and Islam developed beliefs that restrict homosexuality so women reproduce more and boys are taught to be masculine so they can fight in wars better. Africa is a culturally diverse continent and as such war was frequent. African cultures tend to be homophobic despite pre Islamic and pre colonial influences. Regions that experience warfare will develop a strict and warmongering culture to survive meanwhile peaceful cultures will develop more accepting and tolerating beliefs.

Generations of ignorance caused by the banning of our language, made a lot of people forget the true meaning of the word. Its very shameful. But I cant say its our fault.
christians wish to colonize everything, they even colonized their own religion. hawaii is no exception, when the missionaries (who were transphobic, homophobic, etc) came to hawaii shunned cultural practices. they tried banning hula, they tried banning the hawaiian language, and a lot more.
It could mean that they are "male bodied with women's psyche/female bodied with men's psyche" which implies they are not completely men or completely women. They are in between --> half man and half woman.
probably because of misoginy, only the "male bodied" mahu where recognised. Misoginy is common in every culture ofvthe planet, saddly...

No. From a western perspective it may be considered gay because they see it as a relationship between a man and a man. But in Hawai'i it's not gay because they aren't necessarily identifying as male.

Not too many women want to look like a man.
probably because of misoginy, only the "male bodied" mahu where recognised.
