A direct translation of the Ojibwe term, Niizh manidoowag, "two-spirited" or "two-spirit" is usually used to indicate a person whose body simultaneously houses a masculine spirit and a feminine spirit.
A phrase from my religion that has found it's way into my current life: "When the spirit moves"
I like that. It shows an ability to let go and feel. Feel who are. What's inside. I try to do that.
My identity is fluid but stable. It's a waterfall. Always moving but strong. I don't bend or sway from my truth.
We've got to get away from thinking we are our gender. We are so much more.
Communication relies on visual clues. I know this. I know that we communicate with females different than males. This puts me a strange place for people that know I am biological female but I look like a man. How do they communicate with me? A lot of people take the 'I'll just avoid them' route.
