Notable people who aren't nonbinary: Difference between revisions

James Clifford Shupe (born 1963) is a retired United States Army soldier who in 2016 became the first person in the United States to obtain [[legal gender|legal recognition]] of a nonbinary gender. In early 2019, he released a statement explaining that he had "returned to [his] male birth sex". He has become a vocal critic of transgender rights and the very concept of [[gender identity]], blaming "out-of-control, transgender activism" for making transition too easy.<ref name="dail_IWas">{{Cite web |title=I Was America’s First ‘Nonbinary’ Person.
