AUSTRALIA-JUSTICE-GENDER

Norrie, who uses only a first name and does not identify as either male or female, speaks at a press conference in Sydney on April 2, 2014, after Australia's highest court recognised the existence of a third "non-specific" gender that is neither male nor female, in a landmark ruling advocates said ended years of discrimination. "The High Court... recognises that a person may be neither male nor female, and so permits the registration of a person's sex as 'non-specific'," it said in a unanimous judgement, dismissing a New South Wales state appeal to recognise only men or women.
