Scenario

When friends support two-spirit individuals returning to ceremonial community

My best friend is two-spirit and has been invited to participate in ceremony for the first time in years, but they're nervous about how their gender expression will be received by community members who knew them before their transition. We've been talking about it for weeks and I want to support them but I don't know what that looks like practically.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are navigating the vulnerability of authentic participation in traditional spaces after identity evolution.
