* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Two-Spirited is an Indigenous term for someone who isn't hetero.
From https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-two-spirit-community-5089204:
" "Two Spirit" is an umbrella term that is meant to unify various gender identities and expressions among Indigenous, Native American, Alaskan Native, and First Nations people.
It does not refer to a specific gender and is instead a catch-all term that represents a wide variety of people who don't fit in with the traditional gender binary."
