Thanks, Joselle,
I have not done as much research as I guess I should on this, but I have read some on the "two spirit." My father's mother was half Comanche and one of my earliest memories of her, well, I guess my only memory was visiting her once when I was six? or seven? She lived outside Levelland, Texas as I recall. She put me in a type of "potato sack" dress that she had made and tied a bonnet on my head and had me sweep the floor in her house with a homemade broom. The floor was dirt.
This little tidbit had been repressed by me for, well I guess most of my life until I found this forum and the girls here recommend some deep self=therapy and "Total Recall" and that (among) several other repressed milestones in my life came to the surface and it has been wondrous!!!!
Being that I am now a caregiver as well - uh!? hello??!!! love it!!!!!!!
I guess, basically we have been around for, well for longer than Pat Roberson or Jerry Falwell or Focus on the Family would even want to admit!
Are we great or what!!!!!
Thanks for posting the article and links!
Love,
Virginia
