In my culture we’re called iipay xlly’a/hellya (shh-la), means “people of the moon”. I have a friend from San Pasqual who did an interview about it and one of my cousins talked with me about it saying it’s an old label our elders would use. I’ve proudly reclaimed it as my identity.

I wish my culture was as smart and open minded. My daughters is a transgender woman. I always thought she was gay as she grew up up until she started transitioning at 25.

i remember growing up and seeing people argue about trans women and men. to me i have an aunty that’s always been an aunty to me, but she was born a man. it has been around me so long that it was just so odd that people started arguing about the livelihoods of people that just want to live like all of us.

We could have learned so much from other cultures, instead it was suppressed and quieted.

This reminds me of the Hawaiian film Kapaemahu where they display “māhū”, the third gender that’s of both spirits. Quannah Chasing-horse identifies as both too rather than one gender.

If you go back far enough pre-colonial mythology (Even pre-canonized Christianity) gender-fluidity is present and represents the "Primordial" world before it was organized into the categorization of our world today... so it makes sense that genderfluid people were viewed as spiritually inclined because they were often the earliest creations of the Creator/God. Because of this fluidity, their spiritual role is to help create bridges to understand other people and aspects.

To be honest the only time I ever heard anything like this was from my aunt and uncle, they said long time ago I would probably would have been married to a man who would stay with the woman folk while I hunted, he would be the sewer gatherer cook and raise the babies, they said the elders would have watched me grow up and seen I was more comfortable in the male role so would have found a husband who was more comfortable with a female roles.
