    In the Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) and Maohi (Tahitian) cultures, the māhū (meaning "in the middle") is a traditional gender role outside of the Western concept of gender. It is made of people who may have been assigned either male or female at birth. This tradition existed before Western invaders.[1] The first published description of māhū is from 1789.[2] From 1820 onward, Westerners stigmatized and criminalized māhū.[3] Māhū still exist today,[1] and play an important role in preserving and reviving Polynesian culture.[4][5] There was one māhū in the 2016 Nonbinary/Genderqueer Survey,[6] and one in the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census.[7][6]
