'''Gender variance in spirituality''' is a topic that many religions address, whether their view about it is positive, negative, or open to interpretation. This article should collect information about how religions and spiritual paths view [[gender variance]], particularly [[nonbinary]] and other [[transgender]] people, as well as [[intersex]] people. (It can be open to interpretation whether a person described in old religious writings as having both female and male qualities would be intersex, transgender, or nonbinary. It can also be open to interpretation whether a mythological figure described as a woman in men's clothing is a [[transgender men|transgender man]] or a [[gender nonconforming]] [[women|woman]].) It should collect information about gender variant deities and mythological beings, as well as religions' policies about actual gender variant people. Ideally, it should have a practical focus on what nonbinary people need to know in order to safely interact with religion and spirituality.
A '''gender neutral title''' refers to an honorific title that does not indicate the [[gender]] of the person being formally addressed, such as in a letter or other communication, or when introducing the person to others. They are a form of [[gender neutral language]].  By comparison, the traditional honorifics of Miss, Mrs, Ms and Mr all indicate the [[gender binary|binary gender]] of the individual.

The newer term "Mx" avoids specifying gender not only for persons who wish not to indicate a binary gender (male or female) but also for persons whose [[gender identity]] does not fit the [[gender binary]].  Honorifics are used in situations when it is inappropriate to refer to someone only by their first or last name, such as when addressing a letter "Dear Mx Jones" or when introducing the person to others.  Activists, supporters and others are working toward awareness and acceptance of alternative honorifics including Mx.
