Translations:Gender-variant identities worldwide/12/en
"Berdache" was an old word used by European-American anthropologists. Berdache was an umbrella term for all traditional gender and sexual identities in all cultures throughout the Americas that were outside of Western ideas of binary gender and heterosexual roles.[1] These identities included the nádleeh in Diné (Navajo),[2][3][4] and the lhamana in Zuni,[5] among many others. In 1990, an Indigenous lesbian and gay international gathering chose to internationally replace "berdache" with "Two-Spirit" as a preferable umbrella term for these identities.[6][7] Two-Spirit was chosen to distance these identities from non-Natives,[8] and should only be used for people who are Native American, because it is for identities that must be contextualized in Native cultures.[9][10] Because of the wide variety of identities under the Two-Spirit umbrella, a Two-Spirit person does not necessarily have an identity analogous to a non-Native nonbinary gender identity. Some do, but others are more analogous to non-Native gay male or lesbian woman identities. Notable people who identify specifically with the label "Two-Spirit" include Menominee poet Chrystos (b. 1946), who goes by they/them pronouns,[11][12][13] and Ojibwe artist Raven Davis (b. 1975), who goes by neutral pronouns.[14][15] In the 2016 Nonbinary/Genderqueer Survey, 8 of the respondents (0.26%) called themselves Two-Spirit.[16] In the 2019 Worldwide Gender Census, 0.18% (20) of the responses called themselves Two-Spirit.[17][1]
