''Two-spirit'' is just a general term in English, and most Indigenous communities have a word in their own languages to express this concept. That's why the definition of ''two-spirit'' can differ between communities.<ref>Pember, Mary Annette (Oct 13, 2016).

In Thailand, ''kathoey'' refers to trans women or effeminate gay men. However, a lot of people perceive ''kathoeys'' as a third gender.<ref>Winter, Sam (2003). Research and discussion paper: ''Language and identity in transgender: gender wars and the case of the Thai kathoey''. Paper presented at the Hawaii conference on Social Sciences, Waikiki, June 2003.
