I have always liked how the American Indians said it....Two Spirits
They honored and felt they had powers others didn't. They were special in their societies.
"Throughout history, a person who was recognized as two-spirit was someone who identified with both male and female gender roles, and so two-spirit is essentially a third gender recognized in Indigenous cultures."
