It's not a thing. It did not exist before colonization.

As a trans woman who grew up surrounded by hate and disgust, it makes my heart so happy to see this. Even in Hawai'i where we have the concept of mahu, the unrelenting effects of colonization have caused society to forget that mahu have a unique identity and deserve respect.
