Apparently violent sodomites are flocking to see some things called fafafafas beat each other senseless as a prelude to buggery. I'd never heard of these falafel things before, so I looked them up, and they sound pretty perverse:
And they let these demons hold boxing contests? What's wrong with these Godless maniacs?
The top two pin-ups in New Zealand.
Fa'afafine (Samoa), fakaleiti (Tonga), rae rae or mahu (French Polynesia) is a Polynesian concept related to gender role and gender identity.
A common representation alleges that, traditionally, a fa'afafine was a boy raised as a girl in a family with too many male children, and parents chose one son to help the mother with domestic chores. Since these chores were strictly the work of women, and because these boys were doing women's work, they were raised as if they were girls. There is little empirical evidence to support this hypothesis, either historically or in contemporary Samoan society. Instead, fa'afafine simply start out as boys who do not perform Samoan standards of masculinity, which can be exacting, and who identify and are identified by others as effeminate...
Fa'afafine fall in the general and vague category called transgender, which covers a wide variety of gender-crossing persons across societies of the world, and whose vagueness is useful in capturing the wide degree of variation from one person to the other and from one society to the other. They are often sexually attracted to non-transgender men, although some decide to marry heterosexually.
