Although two-spirit implies indeed to some a spiritual nature, that one holds the spirit of two, both male and female, I've read that First Nations peoples view this as a western concept

@val70 I'd be curious where you read that.

@LordShadowfire Do try the Canadian centres. The American ones are already woked :-) “Two-Spirit” is a modern umbrella term, an English translation of the Ojibwe “niizh manidoowag,” which refers to a person who embodies both masculine and feminine spirits. That's all, folks!

@val70 And you just lost all credibility by misusing the word woke. Have a great day.

@LordShadowfire Good, English is my fourth langauge, I have dyslexia, and it's your cultural war. Have a good life :-) do try reading more!

@val70 It's not a dyslexic thing. All you people misuse the word woke to mean whatever political stance makes you piss your pants in fear.

Blessed be.
