Norrie's lawyers argued in court that the activist was "being forced to live a lie" every time their client filled out a document that listed only two options for gender.
"Norrie's sex remained ambiguous so that it would be to record misinformation in the register to classify her as male or female," the judgment said.
Norrie told AFP last year that most people did not have a problem accepting a non-specific sex category.
"People seem to be able to accommodate the truth," the Sydney resident said.
"I'm not the first person like this in society, I'm the one that happened to put my hand up for this particular case -- I stand on the shoulders of giants."
The Intersex International Australia organisation welcomed the High Court ruling.
"We hope that the media will respect the difference between intersex and transgender identities, and identify Norrie's gender as 'non-specific'," it said.
据《每日电讯报》4月2日报道,澳大利亚最高法院裁定,法律上可以承认一个人为中性人,而不被归类为男性或女性。这一结果结束了一位性别平等活动家长期的法律斗争。
“高等法院……认识到一个人可能既不是男性也不是女性,因此将允许某些人的性别登记为‘非特定’。”法院以这份一致判决驳回了新南威尔士州一份关于只有男性和女性的上诉。
案件主角叫诺里,是一个不认同自己为男性或女性的人,并为中性人这一范畴的存在而上诉。
