Hi again Rodney,

My post covers the multiple terms used by Navajo and Cree people for gender (e.g. masculine woman, ‘a man who dresses as a woman,’ see above). I also discuss that Native American cultures are not homogenous. Gender is not the same as sexuality. Two Spirit is a gender category. First Nations people who identify this way have differing sexual identities (e.g. gay, heterosexual, transgender).

Hello. I appreciate your blog. I actually created that Two Spirit Meme. I’m not sure which section of Facebook got the most shares, my personal profile or a gay page, but it got like 5k shares in one day which blew me away ha. I think I posted it back in 2011 or 2012. Around the time I was seeing a lot more people pushing for Gay Marriage and I happened to be researching history regarding homosexual and trans people.

My bachelors degree is advertising and my AA is graphic design so I typically use my skills to provoke thought regarding natural health, politics, social equality, etc. I will mention that I would probably have corrected the connection between homosexual and two spirit. Although effective, they aren’t the same thing. The Native Americans didn’t even have a name for homosexuals as they saw both sexualities (homosexual and heterosexual) as common in nature and among humans. So a masculine homosexual man was basically the same to the Natives as a masculine heterosexual man. They did however have a name for feminine males and masculine females. Two Spirit people. Worth mentioning.

Again, thank you for the blog and considering my meme ❤

Hi Grig,
Absolutely homosexuality should not be conflated with being Two Spirit, but being Two Spirit isn’t really about having a woman inside per se. It is a gender and spiritual identity.

Sorry, last two words should of course be ‘their own’

All your descriptions of Two-Spirit people seem to be drawn from Navajo practice. Do you have information on which of the several hundred other Indigenous North American tribes have similar practices, or other gender systems of your own?
