World's first genderless person sends message of support to boy who dressed as girl for school

THE Scot who became the world's first genderless person is backing the teenage schoolboy who claims he was sent home from class for dressing as a girl.

Jamie Love, 17, has been given a heartfelt message of support by Norrie May-Welby, 50, who hit the headlines two years ago as the first person in the world officially recognised as having no sex.

[...]

The 50-year-old gender rights campaigner refuses to be categorised as male or female and says he understands why Jamie feels he is "neither a boy nor girl."

It is amazing and historical days we are experiencing right now.
Just imagine, in a few decades, there will not only be two legally recognized genders but several.


I also find it notible that the Genderless person, Norrie, did transition into a woman first because being a man felt so wrong to hir, only to realize that becoming a woman was making zie unhappy aswell.

I from time to time get the impression that some transitioners that transition does so because they desperately try to find the least torturous body and existence to live with. And as no-one have ever told them of any other options, they are trying to choose between the only two options they are aware of.

If people with various types of GID would be made more aware of various and different ways to live, then there would also be drastically less doubting and confused transitioners.

As support for my opinion, I think the quote from Norrie says everything that is needed to say on the issue;
Quote"Those concepts, man or woman, just don't fit me. They are not my actual reality, and, if applied to me, they are fiction. At 48 years of age I'm less inclined to just humour other people's delusions about gender and try to conform to one of their expected options. I've never felt completely male or female, except for a brief period in early transition when I first identified as a transsexual because I thought there were only two gender options and male was wrong and female felt better"
