The two-spirit thing is just as astroturfed as the residential school "mass graves".
The two-spirit concept was created by some white academic at a Canadian conference in the 1980s then retconned into native history when it could be weaponized decades later.
There is a little truth, but it's so changed it doesn't matter. I was let into the female society in Navajo because I could weave. Since it's a matriarchal society had a few perks. All the little old ladies were trying to get their grandkids or nieces to date me.
Its not like any of them know any Natives to begin with. Just their lilywhite 1/128th friend who wears way too many beads to try and sell it.
Their mind would be blown when they found out that the majority of Natives are indistinguishable from white trash and would be made an enemy of the Left quick if they had enough people to be a voting bloc.
