two spirit is not a “native version” of anything
its not a “native version of nonbinary” or a “native version of bigender”
thats not what it means, that’s not what it’s ever meant
two spirit is an pan-tribal term coined by indigenous people in 1990, for indigenous people, to replace the term berdache, an offensive term that white settlers applied to indigenous people that fell outside of the western lens of gender and sexuality
two spirit isnt a “native version of nonbinary” because two spirit doesnt inherently mean someone is nonbinary. some of us are, but so many two spirited people arent. many people in our community also choose specifically not to label themselves with terms like nonbinary, gay, bisexual, etc, and solely use two spirit or another term from their tribe or language
we can be anythingandeverythingandnothingyou’ve ever imagined
to say its a “native version of nonbinary” is not just inaccurate, it’s a complete erasure of a massive part of our community
