None of this article is cited past the sentence, "which identify more with femininity and "sweetness". Most of this article reads very biased. This page seems to spend most of its time disparaging the idea of trans women as an evil western concept rather than explaining what it means to be a Tahitian trans woman. This needs a major re-write and it definitely needs to address the very obvious transmisogyny within it.

The CNN reference was pulled from their website. Likely for its own obvious bigotry that they are now ashamed by. The archive is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20190317201816/http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/escape/transsexuals-tahiti-887006/ CandiedApple (talk)

Similarly, the only other link here is also missing because the website took it down for its obvious bias an bigotry. If you read the original archived source, it describes a Rae-Rae and Mahu as exactly the same, except that in the opinion of a single man in his 60s, he felt that Rae Rae were trans women who get vaginoplasty (which they disparagingly refer to as a "snip and tuck") and Mahu were trans women who did not yet get vaginoplasty.

I'm not sure why this is being taken as an authoritative source except that the author wanted to privilege the views of a cis man over that of the women they're talking about. This article is also perpetuating a wellknown and false myth that "boys" are raised as girls because their parents wanted a daughter. There is no good evidence for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CandiedApple (talk • contribs) 01:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
