'''Sistergirl''' '''(Sistagirl)''' and '''Brotherboy''' '''(Brothaboy)''' are genders from Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/people/lgbti-aboriginal-people-diversity-at-the-margins LGBTI Aboriginal People: Diversity at the Margins}}]</ref> The terms are '''not''' analogous to [[transfeminine]] and [[transmasculine]] as understood in the non-Indigenous LGBTA community, and were coined directly by Indigenous individuals.
