The Rarotonga Queens, one of the Cook Islands' best known stage acts, are famous for their flamboyant cross-dressing antics.

On stage, they are outrageous crowd pleasers, but it's what goes on behind the scenes that they are fighting for.

For years they have been ridiculed and have never been taken seriously in a society that is still strongly conservative towards transgender.
