So....while what I have experienced with this one Guy is Male, He claims His second spirit as well, and I accept that.

I totally get what you are saying here. My point is/was that unless he identifies as Native American, he is appropriating a Native concept.
I could call myself two-spirit.....it really does fit me.....however it would be appropriation..........even though I was actively involved in BAAITS at one time. I may have some Cherokee blood through my mother's mother's mother's mother, however that does not make me Native American.
