May-Welby was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland as a male and moved to Perth, Western Australia at the age of seven. May-Welby underwent male-to-female reassignment surgery on 3 April 1989, but later found that being a woman was not what zie felt like either. May-Welby moved to Sydney, New South Wales in the early 1990s, after a highly publicised court case in Perth. Doctors stated, in January 2010, that May-Welby was a neuter, neither male nor female, as hir psychological self-image was as a neuter, hir hormones were not the same as a male or female's, and zie had no sex organs.
One of May-Welby's worries about being labelled male or female is that zie now looks like neither and is physically neither as well. Because of this, if May-Welby's passport states gender as being one or the other, it is possible that zie might be detained for not fitting what the gender field says sie should look like. This was one of May-Welby's reasons for seeking recognition as gender-neutral. Of hir own sexuality, May-Welby has stated: Id be the perfect androgyne if I was completely omnisexual, but Im only monosexual. Just think of me as a big queen girl.
