Tony Briffa (legal and birth name Antoinette Briffa) is a Maltese-Australian[4] politician who is notable for being the world's first known intersex and non-binary mayor and public officeholder.[5]

Briffa has partial androgen insensitivity syndrome,[6] and is mayor of the City of Hobsons Bay, Victoria.[7][8]

Briffa was raised as a girl, then lived for a time as a man, and now chooses to live as both female and male.[2][6][9] Briffa is one of the first people to be public about their experience of being mistreated by doctors as a result of their intersex variation, and about intersex human rights.[2][9][10]
