I'm not sure what I think about this thing, but it oddly fascinates me.

The comments people have left at the bottom are quite interesting too.

I found the article offensive.
Nero was the Forum Admin here at Susan's Place for several years up to the time of his death.

Wow, I don't even know where to start with this. All I can say though besides the obvious parallels with our own community, it seems like an extreme idea probably to anyone that doesn't understand it much like those who don't understand SRS. I guess if I felt that way about my limbs it would make sense to me to try to "correct" my having more limbs then my identity was comfortable.

Read the article carefully and form an opinion on it. I'm curious to see what the rest of the community thinks about HIID.

-Us
Being given the gift of two-spirits meant that this individual had the ability to see the world from two perspectives at the same time. This greater vision was a gift to be shared, and as such, Two-spirited beings were revered as leaders, mediators, teachers, artists, seers, and spiritual guides

Interesting. I don't quite know what to think of it, except that generalizations can be dangerous, like the comparison between that and GID.
