Identity
Who are you?
Identity given & chosen.
The importance of identity.
When do children begin to embrace an identity beyond the given?
Something that changed how I see my gender identity.
I asked Indigenous elder Tom Snow how you become an elder and he said:
It takes 2 hours and five days. Good joke.
And then Elder Snow said:
First, you go out on the land and find yourself.
Elder Snow also said:
Two spirited people walk in two worlds.
I am not Indigenous thus I cannot be two spirited.
But I walk in two worlds and my gender identity pronouns are They / Them.
