Fa'afafine

Fa'afafine adalah gender ketiga dalam peradaban Samoa.
Fa'afafine secara biologis adalah seorang laki-laki yang femininnya dominan. Maka mereka dibesarkan sebagai anak bergender ketiga. Mereka tumbuh dalam gender yang berbeda dari laki-laki dan perempuan, sehingga ada peran khusus yang diberikan kepada mereka, yang berbeda dari laki-laki dan perempuan. Fa'afafine bukanlah sesuatu yang dilarang dalam fa'asamoa (masyarakat Samoa).
