Tahiti "Third Gender"

Fa'afafines used to be fairly famous in Tahiti. They are the same as in the Samoa islands. In a family with too many boys and no girl, parents will bring up one or two of their sons like a girl and the boy will live as a transgender all life long. We sometimes meet them in p4p. They used to have their spot in the Bois de Boulogne in the 16th district of Paris.

I have spent years working in all of the Pacific Islands, and have had the chance to meet the Mahu from Tahiti, the fafafine from Samoa, the TS in French Polynesia, and having spent about 4 months a year in Samoa of quiet some time, I have found that the illusion of the west that Fafafine are assigned their sex from birth because there is not enough females around to be completely wrong in 99 percent of the cases. The ladies in the village can usually tell if a child is orientated to third sex from about 6 months or age.

There are quite a few very enthusiastic TG in Fijian islands as well

They are often on the outer with society if they are fa'fafine as the church does not like them, (very christian nation) and they often face incredible abuse at the hands of family and the wider god bothering community.

The Mahu were once regarded as gods in Tahiti but these days there is not much for them to do in a modern culture so are left to less exhaulted status in the community. Some of course are stunning.

In Tonga for example it is almost impossible to find a TG in the villages because the boys beat them so much the only safe place is Nukualofa.

In general they are very accommodating to the sexual wants of the young men

What did you learn about the transgenders in Tahiti ?

When the missionaries first arrived in Hawaii. They were appalled at the native innocence of the Polynesian people. They helped dress them in clothes sewn like tents and called them muumuus. They brought in teachers and taught them basic lessons in arithmetic, reading, and writing. Helped the Queen Emma establish Queen's Hospital which is excellent by American standards. They did frown upon the hula dancers who were all men (mahus) and banished them from the King's court. From then on it was a woman's art. It has thrived to this day and they have the famous Hula Festival on the Big Island of Hawaii. Also have another contest for Keikis (kids). The men have returned to the hula theater but not in the feminine ways. They dance more masculine. Mahus are not generally respected here because they are criminals and pretty hard to the eyes. There used to be a famous mahu dancer named Princess Hanalei from the island of Kauai. He would stand on his head on a wooden chair and twirl 2 twirlers from his buttocks. Clockwise and counterclockwise. A real gas to watch and lots of fold would hold birthday parties with him as the surprise performer. The bar's name was the Glades. Now gone and hidden in Chinatown legend. Princess Hanalei later died of AIDS as stated in the local newspapers. The mahus usually walk the dark streets of Chinatown after dark, and the Chinese merchants hate them. I don't thinkj you will like them as they are too fat and out of shape. Spoiled and uneducated. Now they mix with the dangerous homeless. There's another bar called Hula's where the gay crowd mingle in Waikiki. I just visited at Halloween and then no more. It is only Thailand where they ladyboys are pretty. I saw only 1 Filipino ladyboy who was a short 5 feet nothing. Ladyboy action in Honolulu is nil. That's why I like to travel to Thailand. I thank all you gents who took and posted their lkatoey photos and vidoes all over the Internet during the late 2000's. The American tranny vids were just awful until Joey Silvera and Jay Sinn changed all that.

Greg Lougainis is a famous Samoan Olympian. Adopted by an American family who supported his diving interests. What a guy. So glad news AIDS drugs helped him live a normal life. Always a happy guy. A few years ago he visited his real Samoan family in Laie and many happy moments were shared.

Not a lot!

I have run into a few in Papeete, they used to hang out in a few bars there. I have enjoyed their company and found them to be quite lovely. One was a hangout for the French foreign legion and the other a night club. I went with a few but never spent the time in Tahiti that I did elsewhere in Polynesia, just a couple of days at a time.

If you are ever in Noumea they used to hang out down on the road that runs all by the port at night. Both Melanesian ones and the Wallisian ones who tended to be more attractive, as they are from Polynesian roots. Tongans migrated to Wallis about 800-900 years ago.

Sorry I can't give you much more information than that.

I have found Fiji both Nadi and Suva to be best for talent, some very big lasses in the private areas and a mix of both Melanesian, Indian and Polynesian (polys come from Rotuma Island and from the Lau group). On the whole very enthusiastic, however there are few that will try it on with a few tricks such as I am underage I will call the police unless you give me X amount of money. All bluster of course, but some might fall for it. Tend to be some who are light fingered but that is something most here would be used to.

Use to be a motel (not sure what happened to it, was attracting a bit of moral outrage) on the main road in from Nadi Airport to Nadi town that was a major short time spot for the Transgenders, see them walking all over the road outside later on in the night.

There used to be a lot of Tahitian transgenders in P4P in Paris. They were fairly well rated, but they lost their value when TS had to work using Internet. They just didn't worth the price. I don't really intend to travel to Tahiti. The fare is expensive and local is expensive as well.
I am surprised to read about TS in Nouméa. They aren't Polynesian. Although they belong to the Melanesian, local people are called Kanak. They are the specific people of New Caledonia. Another "half" of the people are the Caldoche, ie white people from France.

None of the above mentioned Pacific and Melanesian Islands are worth taking a trip to just for chasing TG, however, if you are passing through......
