      I read the entire fucking wiki page and still don’t know. So I am assuming it’s queer Native Americans that want to be special.

        It isn’t bi, it is an Indigenous term meaning they are both masculine and feminine. The closest we have otherwise is non-binary or gender-fluid. But in Indigenous communities (at least historically, I’m not overly familiar with how 2-spirit people are treated currently) they were a part of the spiritual leadership of those communities.

          I wish someone intimately familiar with 2-spirit could come here and explain it to everyone, especially me because I’m dumb.

            If you start by assuming people will think you are not really interested in understanding.

              Usually when attempting to learn, especially in science, you start with an assumption and then change opinions based on discovered facts. I literally know nothing about 2-spirit and had to start with a hypothesis. So far no one has helped me change that hypothesis in any way.
