一位既不愿做男人又不愿做女人的英國僑民最近獲得官方認可，成為世界上首個沒有性別的人。據悉，這位名叫諾里?梅?韋爾比的無性人生在英國，出生性別為男性，7歲時移民到澳大利亞，28歲時通過變性手術成為女性。但是諾里后來發現自己并不喜歡做女性，于是決定做一個“中性人”。諾里表示，男性或女性的概念不適合自己，最簡單的解決辦法就是不要有任何性別判定。在醫生確定無法判定其性別后，澳大利亞官方更改了其出生證明，將性別一欄改為“無性”。

A British expat who claims to have no gender is thought to have become the first person to be officially recognized as neither male nor female.

Norrie May-Welby, 48, was born a man but had a sex change operation in 1990, at the age of 28.

After becoming unhappy as a woman, May-Welby decided to become a “neuter”. The 48-year-old is now officially recognized as a person of no specific gender.

May-Welby emigrated to Australia at the age of seven after being born in Paisley, Renfrewshire.

Officials there altered the Briton’s birth certificate to include the new no-gender classification after doctors were apparently unable to determine the sex of the expat’s body.

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

The UK’s Gender Trust welcomed the case. A spokesman said: “Many people like the idea of being genderless.”
