In 2013, Samoa removed Section 58N from its Crimes Act, decriminalising “female impersonation”, which targeted the indigenous Fa’afafine population.

Despite this, there have been at least two cases of films with LGBT content getting banned from screening in the country over incompatibility with the country's laws and values.
Jan 1, 1962–Apr 30, 2013
Imprisonment as punishment under federal Samoa law
The 1961 Crimes Act in Samoa criminalised “female impersonation” with 6 months imprisonment. This had criminalised the gender expression of the indigenous Fa’afafine population and other trans women. It was repealed in 2013.
