A person who describes themself as a sistergirl or brotherboy is understood to live their life through gendered experience that isn't consistent with their [[Sex|birth sex]]. This includes gender identity but also cultural identity, social role, and other gendered aspects of the Indigenous cultural worldview. Because of this, the terms do not explicitly refer to people who may otherwise be described as [[transgender]]; a person who is a sistergirl may be a trans woman, a [[Transfeminine|transfem]] [[Non-Binary|nonbinary]] person, a feminine gay man, a drag queen or any other permutation. Sistergirls and brotherboys may not consider themselves to be identified as the gender the word may imply; one may be a sistergirl but not a woman. |
