I have to say this article... Didn't help understanding what two spirit is at all. It was a whole lot of nothing and repeating nonsense, to the point it felt like it was written by AI.

So, it's not exactly a sexuality or a gender or orientation. It's some loosely defined modern interpretation of a group of indigenous-American titles and practices. And the article makes it abundantly clear that this is an indiginous only thing.

I'm sorry but I really don't understand why 2S is starting to pop-up together next to the usual LGBTQIA+ letters. It's so niche and exclusionary (everyone in the workd can be BI or A etc, but not 2S). I will defend your right to be 2S every day, but this is just totally different that what the LGBTQIA+ movement is...
