'''Mx''' (variously pronounced as mux [IPA: məks or mʌks], mix [IPA: mɪks], em ex [IPA: ɛm ɛks], mixter [IPA: mɪkstər], or mixture) 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.
