Hello, I have been trying to connect my identity as someone under the trans umbrella with the taino ancestry and language.
I know that the term Two Spirits is used by Native Americans, also the term Eieri inaru could have a similar meaning. Kiwari is rainbow and used to refer to the lgbtq+ Taino community (I use it as synonym to my Queer identity). But is there another expression or word that could be used to describe someone who is under the trans umbrella?
I will appreciate your insight, since having words to connect identities to your ancestry is a key for a better connection.
What could be a good word for trans in the Taino language?
