Norrie,[3] also known by the pseudonym Norrie May-Welby,[a] is a Scottish-Australian transgender person who pursued the legal status of being neither a man nor a woman, between 2010 and 2014.[4][5][6][7] 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 Norrie was 'non-specific'.
