      Its an umbrella term that is more common in North America

      Two-spirit (also known as two spirit or occasionally twospirited,[a] or abbreviated as 2S,[b] especially in Canada) is a contemporary pan-Indian umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) social role in their communities.[2][3][4][5]
