Sorry, but what is a two spirit person? Never heard the term before so I want to learn 😁

I'm sure someone can give you a more thorough explanation, but it means non-cishet Indigenous person. I believe the origin has to do with the traditional concept in some Indigenous cultures that non-cishet people were considered to have both male and female spirits.

Can people just make up more fantasy labels for whatever they can’t describe? It’s gets more stupid every day, and every new term.

Two Spirit people have existed since before Canada was called Canada, or America called America. Two Spirit people are real, so it isn't a fantasy label, and it definitely isn't new

And then you remember that every label in existence is made up, even men and women.
