“His views are antithetical to our position about the inclusion of gays,

lesbians, transgendered and two-spirited people in our society.”

Anyone whose eye was stopped by that word “two-spirited” when reading the

link from my previous post: so far as I can discover, it refers to

transgendered persons of the Native American persuasion. They have a male

spirit and a female spirit, see?

This is strictly a Canadian usage. The preferred formula in the U.S., at

any rate in an educational context, is: “gay, lesbian, transgendered and

questioning.” Since we have Native Americans too, my guess is that this

will soon change; though whether the Questionings will submit meekly to

being displaced by the Two-Spiriteds, or whether a very unpleasant fight

will break out (two falls, two spirits, or a knock-out to decide the

winner), I would not venture to speculate.
