In a potentially landmark decision, an Austrian regional court is set to rule on whether citizens identifying themselves as neither female nor male can be identified as intersex in their official documents.

The court proceedings follow a complaint filed by Alex Jurgen, an Austrian who demanded that local authorities in the town of Steyr in the region of Upper Austria change his gender to ‘X’ or ‘Inter’ in the passport and on the birth certificate.

Jurgen, 39, was born an intersex person. From the medical point of view, his body was neither male nor female. He also feels or identifies as neither sex. For 10 years, he has openly lived as an intersex person.

“Being neither a man nor a woman means for me that I only can live, hiding behind a mask of a man or a woman. I do it unwillingly, I actually have no other option because our society recognizes only these two norms,” Jurgen said, as quoted by the Oberoesterreichische Nachrichten daily.

Jurgen recently decide to change his gender in his official documents to make them “completely accurate,” but was turned down by local authorities, which said there can be only male or female gender, according to the law. In response, Jurgen filed a lawsuit against the authorities on June 17.

At the same time, he is trying to change his gender in his international passport and has applied to the local authorities in the city of Freistadt for this issue. The decision concerning the passport is expected to be made in August, Austrian media report.

“It is the first such case in Austria,” Helmut Graupner, a lawyer and a president of the LGBT rights organization Rechtskomitees Lambda (RK Lamba), which took Jurgen’s case, said, as quoted by the Austrian Der Standard newspaper.

At least this guy has a genuine medical issue.

Though it’s hard to know why the whole of society should have to pay for one guy’s freakish genetic nature.
