In North American with few exceptions you are mostly talking about hunter gatherer tribes too primitive to have eunuchs (thank goodness). So what are you talking about?
O H, got your PM.
Funny timing, at this time I'm at Pine Ridge, SD following Wiwanyang wacipi(Sun dance) and Hamblaychia(Vision quest and piercing ceremony[from my youth I have the scars]) visiting with the native side(father's side) of my family. My Mom was the product of a Kahn/Levin union, of mostly Sephardic Sicilian background with a bit of Spanish entering in about 1810-1815 from a chap from very northern New Mexico that went east to trade and married into the family back then. My bio-dad hated me from birth, for what reason I have never known, and so at aged 5 I was sent to be raised by my Mom's oldest brother(I.M. Kahn) in K.C. MO, in 1940. He was a rather secular Jew as was his wife, Schiffra. We'd get religious about twice a year, .......sometimes. Once a year I was sent back to Pine Ridge so that I would not lose out on my "wonderful Lakota heritage". My bio-dad was soon beating hell out of me, nevertheless I learned much of the traditional spiritual traditions of my oyate Lakota, my mitakuye oyasin being very dear to me to this day. Then I would be sent back to my uncle in K.C. BUT, due to my rather loose exposure to Judaism and teaching at B'nai Yehudah, Reform in Kansas City, bits of Torah stuck in my mind which eventually led me to believe that Y'shua/Jesus was, is and shall be the Jewish Messiah. Circuitous path. Oh, the dominating white religion on the reservations Lakota, as well as the schools, was RCC under the Jesuits. Fun, NOT!!!
So much for me. E finito.
As to my tribe's traditional acceptance of homosexuality(meaning in the old days) and this 2 spirit dreck, it was NOT acceptable, for the most basic and what should be logically obvious reasons. The "soft fellas" were not good warriors, not good hunters and did not function in a way that would increase the tribe's numbers, therefore, my elders taught, they "left", never mind the reason(s) or methodology. Tribe simply couldn't afford to keep them, nomadic hunting/gathering allowed no flex for such nonsense.
Since reservationizing and becoming a ward of the gov't and at their $$$$ whim we haave had to accede(on the surface) to their dictums and thus we tolerate the homo issue, when the gov't is watching. When they're not watching, well.............. .
We have alcoholism, addictionism, infant mortality rates, depression, hopelessness, teen suicides and our own political corruption that is out of sight. Faggotry is a problem we don't need but it exists, unacceptable in reality that it is.
We are trying to keep the Euro-centric thinking basis out, we want to see it gone. You people are destroying yourselves, just as Mahpiya Lute predicted.
Friday past, July 3, I turned 80. I have related what I know, I will not comment further beyond this.
Doubtless I have offended the bounds of political correctness, a fear based behaviour which I have nothing but contempt for. No apologies here. So ban me.
Nevertheless, in plain english, Y'shua/Jesus is L-rd.
