Note that I define two-spirit differently from transgender.

Transgender has the spirit of one gender in a body
of the opposite sex.

Two-spirit has both male and female sexual harmonics
in either a male body or female body or, rarely, a
hermaphrodite body. Some two-spirit people identify
as non-binary.

I go into more details about that on the Eight Sexual Harmonics
theory subpage of my Salmon on the Thorns webpage.

That's so hilarious you should post it to
alt.humor.best-of-usenet. They haven't had a good laugh since 2014.

Ha, but of course that group, and rec.humor.funny, have
been abandoned by their moderators since 2014.

A simple redivision of the letters into words is technically
an anagram, but they're rarely of interest as they don't
generally make much sense. E.g. see above.

Indeed. I made my last submission to RHF in 2017, and it
was silently ignored:

There is a well-known redivision phrase, though: The “notable” doctor was “not able” to operate, because the room had “no table”.

If the doctor is sufficiently notable, they'll find him a table.

Some genuine Web sites (I haven't checked whether the sites are
still up):

expertsexchange.com (like stackexchange.com, I suppose)
penisland.net (online stationer)
therapistfinder.com (therapist resource)
whorepresents.com (for finding celebrities' agents)

There's probably a word for this kind of anagram (where the work
is already done for you). Anyone?

This kind of anagram is sometimes called a redivider.

This is easy to remember, since "redivider" is a palindrome.

Confirmed. That was strangely missing from the alt.anagrams FAQ.
I've submitted a change to the maintainer. Hat-tip to you both.
