The berdache is the two spirit native american. Some reffered to them as a male prostitute. Its odd that cultures had this so many years ago. I think that is just proof it is something biological that makes people have the opposite sex type of traits. This can be seen in many aspects of the world.
These people were accepted by some, and rejected by others. This can happen due to many different things. How we were raised. How we were brought up religiously can play a part in it as well. Though they were different, they were also healers and gave a lot back to the tribe. I think it should be noted that discrimination can push us away from many good aspects in life. I'm sure they fought their way for respect in the tribe.
