Thomas Baty

Thomas Baty, also known as Irene Clyde, was an English international lawyer, writer, and activist. Baty was a legal adviser to the Japanese Foreign Office from 1916 to 1952 and wrote on international law. Under the name Irene Clyde, Baty co-founded and edited the journal Urania (1916–1940), which opposed binary classifications of gender. Modern scholars have described Baty in differing terms, including non-binary, genderfluid, transgender, and trans woman.
