Transcript excerpt

No within native societies, at least the one that I was raised with with my own people, we have seven genders of medicine. First one would be the women because they were made worst, shortly followed by the men, which is our second. The third one is women loving women. Fourth one is men loving men. Fifth one is women nurturing themselves to become men. Sixth one yes. Sixth one was men nurturing themselves to become women. Then the seventh one that we have, which is arguably the most sacred out of all of them would be our two spirit. So with two spirits in our beliefs is that two spirit person has equal proportions of the female and the male spirit back into one body. So my people have a story that's part of our, you know, overarching creation story of how humans were made. So one of our, I yes, you rank kinda say he's a cultural hero when he was making humans, ended up splitting an ash tree into two pieces, started pulling spirit from either side of that tree and making men and women. And then when he did have enough to make another person, he brought those two pieces back into one body. It made our first two spirit. So with two spirits, they had a whole bunch.
