'I Didn't Just Reset the Parameters...'
Last week, 52-year-old Jamie Shupe made history as the first person in the United States to be legally designated as nonbinary.
The legal win came after Amy Holmes Hehn, a circuit court judge in Multnomah County, Oregon issued a ruling stating that “the sex of Jamie Shupe is hereby changed from female to non-binary.”
While it’s unclear how the ruling will apply to state and federal identification, the win represents an unprecedented step towards greater legal recognition for the non-binary and gender-queer community.
Following the decision, genderqueer advocate Jacob Tobia spoke with Shupe about their journey towards this historic moment and their thoughts about the role of non-binary people in the broader transgender movement.
