James Shupe, the first individual to be legally recognized for his “non-binary” sex designation, has revoked the status and restored his sex as “male” on his birth certificate.

“The charade of not being male, the legal fiction, it’s over,” Shupe stated in an interview with Tyler O’Neil of  PJ Media. “The lies behind my fictitious sex changes, something I shamefully participated in, first to female, and then to non-binary, have been forever exposed. A truthful accounting of events has replaced the deceit that allowed me to become America’s first legally non-binary person.”

Shupe added, “The legal record has now been corrected and LGBT advocates are no longer able to use my historic non-binary court order to advance their toxic agenda. I am and have always been male. That is my biological truth, the only thing capable of grounding me to reality.”

The former hero of the transgender movement now wishes to dispel the myths of gender identity and wants to help to reverse the harm that was caused by his legal “non-binary” designation.

Shupe believes his experience should serve as a cautionary tale and hopes “all others are denied the right to change their sex to non-binary because it’s fraud and legal fiction based on pseudoscience.”

“LGBT advocates are no longer able to use my non-binary court order to advance their toxic agenda,” said Shupe, after his legal record was corrected in an Oregon court last month. “I am and have always been male. That is my biological truth, the only thing capable of grounding me to reality.”

Shupe, who was born in Washington, D.C. in 1963, and served in the U.S. Army for 18 years, has been married to his wife Sandy for thirty years.

In 2013, Shupe began to identify as a transgender woman after being harassed in the military because some thought he was homosexual. Shupe started using hormone treatments and legally changed his sex to female and his name to Jamie, but did not undergo sex-reassignment surgery. He legally changed his sex to non-binary a few years later in June of 2016.

Shupe struggled with deep psychological issues and health issues because of hormones including blood clots in his eyes, low bone density, bladder control issues, emotional instability, and skin issues.

“I ended up in the psych ward three times because of hormones. I had blood clots in my eyes because my estrogen levels were 2,585 instead of 200, low bone density, problems controlling my bladder, and emotional instability,” said 56-year-old Shupe.

“The gender transitions were supposed to fix my mental health problems, but I kept getting worse instead. The high-powered marijuana made me psychotic. I started hearing booming noises and having visions of being some Indian woman,” he explained to PJMedia. “I started believing I was some kind of chosen one who was picked to restore the third gender to North America, that’s what I thought the visions were telling me.”

Shupe’s sex was changed back to male and his name restored to James Clifford Shupe in an Oregon court on December 19, 2019.
