No offense, but I don't really care if someone is gay, bi or trans or whatever else... I'm not going to treat them with kiddie gloves because "they already have enough to worry about." That's bullshit and you know it.
How about we first provide a definition for what a spirit is, then demonstrate that there is evidence for such a thing, THEN decide whether or not someone can be "two-spirited." From the definitions given in this thread, it sounds like a bunch of fucking nonsense.
That being said, I don't really care in the sense that it doesn't affect my life at all. Nor does someone being gay, bi or trans affect my life. But bullshit is bullshit, no matter what flavor you sprinkle on top of it.
No offense, but if you think allowing someone to identify however they want and treating them with dignity and respect is considered treating them with kiddie gloves, that’s a problem with you
