48 year old Norrie May-Welby is the first person to be officially recognised as genderless, after doctors couldn’t sex it.

May-Welby was born a male in Scotland, and in 1990 aged 28 had a sex change operation. Following the operation May-Welby stopped taking it’s female hormone pills and became neither a man or a woman, just an androgynous thing.

May-Welby moved to Australia when it was still a little boy, Government officials there have now agreed to alter May-Welby’s birth certificate so it is categorised as “no-gender”. The decision was made after doctors were unable to identify May-Welby’s gender, because of the lack of gonads the hormonal system was not typically male or female.

“The concepts of man or woman don’t fit me. The simplest solution is not to have any sex identification.” May-Welby states.
