Mx: Difference between revisions

'''Mx''' (generally pronounced like ''mix'' [mɪks], or [məks] in the UK<ref name=":0">[https://gendercensus.com/post/182143078745/a-survey-on-the-prevalence-and-pronunciation-of A survey on the prevalence and pronunciation of the title Mx] - Gender Census (2018)</ref>) is meant to be a gender-neutral alternative to the titles Mr. and Ms. Just as the Ms title gives no marital status, the Mx title gives no gender. Mx is the most widely-known of several [[gender neutral titles]] in the English language, largely because of the work of [[nonbinary]] activists who ask [[organisations]] to [[recognition|recognize]] it. Depending on the individual, people who have nonbinary [[gender identity|gender identities]] may ask to be called Mx, or by a different gender-neutral title, or by a title that is not gender-neutral, or may ask that no titles be used for them at all.

In the UK the ''Məx'' option was the most popular one, compared to ''Mix'' in the US, when the results were filtered by country.<ref>https://twitter.com/gendercensus/status/1086715761874345984?s=09</ref> The UK was the most likely place to see Mx as an option on a form, even though this only happened under 37% of the time. The US was 6^th most likely, and Germany - the first of the non-English speaking countries - was 7^th.<ref name=":0" />
