What does Two-Spirit mean?

"While gender variant people have always existed, the use of the term “Two-Spirit'' itself to describe these Indigenous gender identities is relatively new. In 1990, Cree organizer Myra Laramee coined the term as an umbrella term for gender variant Indigenous folks across Turtle Island. Laramee derived the phrase from the Anishnaabemowin term “niizh manidoowag,” which directly translates to “two spirits.”"
