Well-known community activist norrie mAy-welby has lodged a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) after the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages backflipped on issuing norrie with a recognised details certificate with "sex not specified" written on it.

Norrie and the Sex And Gender Education (SAGE) lobby group believe the backflip is a breach of norrie's rights under both the Australian Sex Discrimination Act 1984 and the United Nations Charter of Human Rights which protects a person's right to self-determine their own social identity.
