Two-Spirit (trans) people predate MAGA and Christianity by thousands of years in North America. They held an important status within Indigenous communities. — I absolutely support them and their community. #TransDayofVisability 🪶🏳️⚧️
Many Indigenous cultures believe in a third gender. The Lakota believe this third gender harbors an amalgamation of both female and male souls. What makes Two-Spirit people so incredibly unique is their ability to perceive the world — from two distinct spiritual lenses. 🏳️⚧️🪶
@LakotaMan1 Yes! In Mexico we have the Muxe community of Oaxaca. theculturetrip.com/north-america/…
@LakotaMan1 You folks had gender altering hormones and surgery thousands of years ago? We have really been under estimating native Americans.
@LakotaMan1 This is another Noble Savage myth. We have no way to verify it because the stone age indigenes had no writing and so kept no records beyond oral traditions, which aren’t trustworthy as exact records.
@LakotaMan1 You know they didn’t even have the wheel. So I’m going to pass on trusting them on human biology.
@LakotaMan1 The term Two Spirit (original form chosen) was created in 1990 at the Indigenous lesbian and gay international gathering in Winnipeg, and "specifically chosen to distinguish and distance Native American/First Nations people from non-Native peoples".
@LakotaMan1 Prior to contact with Europeans no native American culture had created a written language, learned to smelt metals or had invented a wheel. Many of them also practiced human sacrifice and cannibalism. I don't think that I'll be taking ques from a stone-age culture, thanks.
