This is very exciting.
I found the article while I was looking at pictures of an island sized yacht on the Huffington post (yeah, i know, I know)
but this is a big deal! Norrie May-Welby is legally recognized as existing but May-Welby's existence is not predicated by gender (legally, I mean). "World's First" is without-a-doubt inaccurate as we know of cultures world wide that put a lot less emphasis on gender than "we" in Western Judeo-Christian dominance do now, but this is thrilling in our paradigm.
Not a fan of the language in the huffington post article (HUGE surprise) but here it is.

thats a huge deal! and the language is worse in the original article. I'm suprised they don't mention pronouns, thats gonna be the first thing people think of after reading this. (Okay, maybe like third, but whatever).
Also, my word verification is being rather insensitive. This is round two, and its "Quilled" but round one, i kid you not, was "Phallic".
also... there's a tree on that yacht.
