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.

Thanks for helping me understand and become a better person by not being ignorant and insensitive. /s

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

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.
