Norrie May-Welby (born Bruce Norrie Watson, 23 May 1961) is a Scottish-Australian transsexual person who pursued the legal status of being neither a man nor a woman, between 2010 and 2014.〔〔〔("Norrie May-Welby: The World's First Legally Genderless Person" ), ''The Huffington Post''. 18 March 2010.〕〔("Norrie May-Welby's battle to regain status as the world's first legally genderless person" ), ''Daily Life Australia''. 8 November 2013〕 The High Court of Australia ruled in April 2014 that it was in the power of the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to record in the register that the sex of May-Welby was 'non-specific'. At least two other Australians - both born intersex and including Alex MacFarlane - are known to have birth certificates and/or passports showing an indeterminate or unspecified sex as early as 2003.〔("X marks the spot for intersex Alex" ), ''The West Australian'', via bodieslikeours.org. 11 January 2003〕〔("Ingrid Holme, "Hearing People's Own Stories", in Science as Culture, Volume 17, Issue 3, 2008" )〕〔("OII VP Tony Briffa to wed partner in NZ ceremony - Gay News Network" ), ''Gay News Network'', 27 September 2013〕 == Life == May-Welby was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland and identified as male at birth. May-Welby moved to Perth, Western Australia〔("Norrie, Senza Sesso' ('Norrie, Without Sex')" ), ''Leggo Online''. 18 Marzo 2010.〕 at the age of seven. May-Welby underwent male-to-female reassignment surgery on 3 April 1989,〔 but later found that being a woman was not what May-Welby felt like either.〔("No sex for me, please! Ex-transsexual Australian Norrie May-Welby is first legally genderless person" ), ''New York Daily News''. 16 March 2010.〕〔("Briton is recognised as world's first officially genderless person" ), ''The Telegraph''. 15 Mar 2010.〕〔("Gender Bender laps up zer attention!" ), ''Paisley Daily Express''. 18 March 2010.〕 In 1990, Norrie took the drug LSD which she claims influenced her to be 'genderless'. http://www.oocities.org/the_norrie/tsf.html May-Welby moved to Sydney, New South Wales in the early 1990s, after a highly publicised court case in Perth.〔('Audience Show and Tell' - ) ABC1 ''Enough Rope'', 11 August 2003〕 Doctors stated, in January 2010, that May-Welby was a neuter, with a self-image that was neither male nor female, and no sex organs.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Norrie May-Welby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
