    TIL that term is considered a slur. I remember learning about them in anthropology class ~15 years ago and that was the term used.

    So is the respectful terminology today to use whichever modern LGBTQ label is accurate, or should I use two-spirit in historical context?

      When speaking of first nations and amerindians who are queer and self-identify as two-spirit, use two-spirit. Historically, I don’t know.
