Two-Spirit Health in Canada
This article gives a background on the definition of Two-Spirit, a brief history of Two-Spirit people in Canada, and an explanation of how settler colonialism imposed the gender binary. Specific concerns regarding Two-Spirit health in Canada are also discussed. Later, from the perspective of a settler medical learner, I reflect on ways healthcare can become more culturally safe towards Two-Spirit identities and potential routes toward this.
