Although scholars who work on Asia and those who work on indigenous studies have both critiqued the epistemic structure of queer studies for particularizing the non-West and thus supporting the domination of the West, they are hardly in dialogue. This article offers a rethinking of queer theory and practice useful to both area studies and indigenous studies by exploring the discussion generated from the screening of Kumu Hina, a documentary about a Hawaiian Māhū in the Beijing Queer Film Festival and a brief history of ku'er (queer) media culture and discourse in China. Thinking beyond the binaries of West/East and white/indigeneity, this article calls for a kind of transversal queer alliance that does not equate "cultural specificity" with cultural authenticity but critically uses it as an entry point to reveal the structural hierarchy between the local and the global, the particular and the universal
