• You know, as a Seneca, it upsets me when non-Indians appropriate my culture. She is bi-gendered. Two spirit only belongs to us and should only be used by us.

  • This is exactly the kind of ” Fethism of Small Differences” that makes me crazy. Freud used this term to point out that marginalized groups often care more about what separates them from people who are very similar and ignore the serious differences they have their true enemies.

    I am a proud blood sister to the Cherokee Nation. I have discussed this matter with many of my First Peoples friends in Canada and the U.S. My roommate is Shawnee and Choctaw and nearly full blooded Native American She encourages me to use the term because it is the only one that fits. My therapist tells if the term Twin Spirited did not exist, I would need to invent it In short, I am us. If a term first appears in English. it obvious is not a Native American term. Up until the 1980’s most anthropologists used was term Berdace, a French term derived from Arabic and meaning cadamite slaves See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Spirit.

    I essentially have twins living with in me. One male and one female. See Carl Jung’s work on Aninma. Bigendered is equivalent to ambideterous i.e.equal facility with the limbs on both sides. That is very different from having two personalities which never disassociate, but have very different interests.

    By the way, our trial should begin in August. I spoke out when a local Black man was shot by the Johnstown Police. They say I contaminated a crime scene be leaving my room and later returning to get my medicine before I went into a seizure. I say this is a witch hunt to get back at the loud mouth Tranny “Nigger Lover”

    Thanks for the kind words, Sue.
    Peace, Out.

• Dia duit (god be with you, or idiomatically hello, in Ulster Irish Gaelic

  My roommate pointed out something I had forgotten in my previous post. Gabriel, my dear brother, with whom I have a timeshare on this body, and I sometimes disagree, occasionally loudly. We never hear it because we are asleep. It does not happen often. However, it wakes my roommate when the dialogue starts
  Fortunately, she has a good sense of humour. She just watches Gabbie and Caitie have loud discussion in Irish. My friend and I have both recorded such a discussion. Gabriel and I apparently are discussing the set list for our next gig. I see why roommate thinks we are arguing. Ulster Irish is spoken loudly and quickly. Think NYC English

  The truly interesting part is hearing two very, very distinguishable voices coming from one body. Gabriel is a baritone and I am very high alto. Well there only one solution! We recently formed our own musical group obviously called “Both Sides Now”. We split the singing duties which means we sometimes cover four octaves in the same song. All this is funny as all hell if you know the back sorry. After we were raided by Homeland Security and were on television every night, most people know us. Gabriel sounds like the Scottish comedian/ folksinger Billy Connolly. Hopefully, I am bit mellower. It is a great way to practice while waiting for a tour of Australia and New Zealand with our cousins and their spouses. So if you want a musical duo, but can only afford a single, think of us.

  One more point. I suddenly found my name is now Kaitlyn, according to many of associates I admire Ms. Jenner. She is the only one I have ever seen throw a javelin, shot, and discus, left handed besides me. An aside here, nearly half of all non-binary sexed individuals are left handed or ambidextrous as compared to somewhere between 7 and 8 percent of the total population. So I am a Jenner fan, but I have no desire to share her first name. My parents named me for my Grandmother. The doctors found my boy bits a few days later.

  My Grandma told me there were a paucity of girls’ first names in village she grew up in Ireland. So every girl got two names, like Katherine Anne, or Caitriona Aine in Irish. When I lived in Ulster, or British occupied Ireland, as I usually call it, women named Katherine were using Caitie as a diminutive to avoid being confused with women named Kaitlyn, Caitlyn, or Kathleen
  ( Anglicization of Kaitlyn)

  Ms. Jenner is still very confused. She has yet to figure out that if your are a woman and are attracted sexually to women, you are lesbian. I really do not like explaining Ms. Jenner’s situation. I am not privy to Jenner’s life and I am very happy about that. I am not keen on being called Kaitlyn. I spell my name Kaitlyn when writing in Irish.

  I write and speak in Irish or Scots when communicating with my cousins. We hope we are driving MI5, the RCMP, and FBI insane. None of us have ever formally studied Irish, Highland Gaelic. or Nova Scotian Gaelic. We may have invented our very own idiom of Gaelic. As our family in Ireland and Scotland are “Travellers” or Tinkers, Pikies, Knackers, or my favorite, lay about, no good sponging Gypsies. It is nice to feel racial hatred from people who look just like you. We learn our Gaelic idiomatically from our Traveller relatives. Likely we would horrify a linguist. Hell, we enjoy ourselves.

  I am serious, if you want, a Twin Spirited musician, please email us. We tell the really good jokes when we are awake.

  Gabriel and I say,
  Ochine Duit (Good night)
