In a sex course at college, I've heard that the culture is accepting of transsexuals and inner-sex people.

From what I understand, there were certain tribes where a shaman determined the sex of a baby by viewing its spirit, regardless of the genitals.

In some cultures there were two-spirits, someone who transitioned gender or was viewed as a respected member of another gender.

Time to look at the Backpage ads so I can find a tee-pee to use my pee-pee.

I dont know much on this but the Native Americans seem an enlightened people so i wouldnt be surprised

I know this might infuriate people, but isn't this just another example of the myth of the 'noble savage.' it seems to me to be white america playing out its guilt complex over its ethnic cleansing of the native american people. Re-invent them as some specially gifted/magical/liberal culture. They were indeed a mighty network of interlinked cultures with all the strengths and flaws of any culture. Christians from Europe came in and smashed a whole continents cultural matrix to smithereens.

But it is true that the colonisation of countries has made a lot of them homophobic due to their "christian" beliefs

Its a bad thing that transgendered children do not have a spirituel place in sociaty and that they are seen as deviants from childhood on...
