Norrie May Welby
This March, a 48 year-old Scottish-Australian became the first officially documented non-gendered person. Norrie May-Welby, who identifies as neither male nor female, was the first person in the world to obtain a birth certificate-like document stating “Sex Not Specified” from the New South Wales government. Not a week passed till the Attorney General of NSW pressured the registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to revoke the “Sex Not Specified” status. May-Welby and Sex & Gender Education (SAGE) are now fighting for reinstatement of SNS status in court.
