Some Native American tribes recognized Trans and Gay males buy letting them live with their male partners.. Justy a matter of fact way of life..

Morgan.. Can't remember a specific name (But Two Spirited sounds right) I know that the Mamitarees and Crow practiced this. Some raised male children as effeminate 'Passives' and they were for other males to have sex with.. The Miami Indians as well..

George Sand/Aurore Dupin, Mary/Mark Reed. There's lots more. I think this has been with us since the beginning of time. The Lakota had male wives sometimes. Can't recall the name of them, but they were the namers of children from what I recall. I think the word began with a 'B'. A search on the word I remember is eluding me, but I found another term after a long search. 'Winkte'. I think the Ohlone had something like that, and Hell knows what other tribes, not just on Turtle Island. (Not recalling the original word is driving me nuts. Lynda, do you know?)

Two Spirited people.

What does that make a nose in a Commonwealth country where noses are not gendered? No Spirit?
