After hearing this term for years, I finally broke down and looked it up:
WHERE DOES TWO-SPIRIT COME FROM?
The term two-spirit is an umbrella term across American Indian and First Nations cultures for a person who embodies both male and female spirits within them, hence two-spirit. It originated at a 1990 conference for gay and lesbian Native people to replace the hurtful, derogatory, colonial term berdache (French for a “young male kept for gay sex”), used for gender-nonconforming individuals.
It's queer indians. Berdache... Queer indian pedophiles. I thought we genocided them.
