In pre-contact Hawaii (before white explorers and missionaries brought their homophobia with them), mahus were considered special and assumed respected and traditional roles within the communities.
After colonization, it became common for mahu to be used pejoratively to refer mostly to gay men and drag queens, but sometimes also butch women, and transgendered people of all kinds.
Although it is now most commonly used in a disdainful way, some have decided to remember their history and reclaim the word with pride, calling themselves mahu, just as the words, queer, fag, and dyke, have been reclaimed by many.

Mahu are on the streets to perform skin flute renditions for a price. Most mahu are pretty rough looking and could probably kick the shit out of you if provoked.
Mahu are disliked by large local women because they buy up all the large size stylish shoes leaving only funky kine shoes that nobody like wear.
