It isn't bi, it is an Indigenous term meaning they are both masculine and feminine. The closest we have otherwise is non-binary or gender-fluid. But in Indigenous communities (at least historically, I'm not overly familiar with how 2-spirit people are treated currently) they were a part of the spiritual leadership of those communities.
I wish someone intimately familiar with 2-spirit could come here and explain it to everyone, especially me because I'm dumb.
