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 recognised as a person of no specific gender.
May-Welby said: “The concepts of man or woman don’t fit me. The simplest solution is not to have any sex identification.”

From "I’m not a man... or a woman" by Kenny Angove, The Scottish Sun 3/15/10
Norrie May-Welby has been registered on a birth certificate as sex "Not Specified".
. . . Norrie wasn't happy as a woman and stopped taking female hormones to become a "neuter".
Doctors admitted they were unable to determine whether Norrie is male or female.
Now Norrie is thought to be the first gender non-specific person in the world.
The legal landmark was welcomed by the UK's Gender Trust, which said it didn't know of anyone else who'd successfully requested a genderless birth document.
Spokesman Rory Smith said: "It is unusual, but there are many people here who like the idea of being genderless and will welcome this."
