What is Two-Spirited a term used for and only used by indigenous people of America.

DescriptionTwo-Spirit is a modern, pan-Indian, umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people in their communities who fulfill a traditional third-gender ceremonial and social role in their cultures.

Two Spirit people have both a male and female spirit within them and are blessed by their Creator to see life through the eyes of both genders.

Its always important to note that using the term two spirited is a closed term and only practiced by native Americans and indigenous people of the north and is not to be used outside of this ethnic group

NOTE: Two Spirit Does Not Indicate Colonized Boxed Definitions of “L”, “G”, “B”, “T” or “Q” at all.

Two Spirit is a role that existed in a Native American/First Nations/Indigenous tribe for gender queer, gender fluid, and gender non-conforming tribal . If you don’t have a tribe, you can’t claim that role and can be seen as offensive and disrespectful to claim Two spirited identity if you are not in fact native and belong to a certain tribe.
