+A '''gender neutral title''' is an alternative to the gendered honorifics Miss, Mrs, Ms and Mr, Mt/Mm for people who don't fit the [[gender binary]] and therefore don't feel that a gendered title fits their identity. It is used in formal situations when it is inappropriate to refer to someone by their first or last name only. However, there are quite a lot of people who would prefer to never be referred to with a title. In the 2019 Gender Census, 33% of respondents didn't want to use a title for themselves.<ref name="Census2018" />
+For the most part, gender neutral titles without qualification/career connotations are not recognised by the general public or businesses/organisations. Activists and supporters are working toward awareness and acceptance of alternative titles. The generally accepted gender neutral titles are associated with qualifications and careers, such as Dr (Doctor) and Rev (Reverend).
+For some nonbinary folk, being referred to with a gendered title can trigger [[gender dysphoria]].
+==Changing your title==
+===United Kingdom===
+A Deed Poll can be used to change your name and your title free of charge, if you can get two witnesses together - however if you are only changing your title, there may be no need for this.
+The Deed Poll Service notes that “There's no need to follow any formal procedure (such as executing a Deed Poll) if you only wish to change your title.  You simply need to start using your new title and notify all the record holders that you have changed it.”[http://www.deedpoll.org.uk/AreThereAnyRestrictionsOnNames.html#Section3.6] The UK Deed Poll Service also offer the gender-inclusive title Mx.<ref>''[http://mxactivist.tumblr.com/mxevidence The Growing Use of Mx as a Gender-inclusive Title in the UK]'', captured August 2017.

+A Statutory Declaration of title change can be drawn up and presented to a regular solicitor to witness/sign for a cost of approximately £10.00 (this usually includes a couple of legal copies); having the solicitor draw the document up for you may incur a much higher cost (£70.00+). You do not usually need to make an appointment for this service as the process only takes a few minutes.
+There is, however, no need to use a paid service to create a Deed Poll. "DIY" versions are just as valid.
+A Deed Poll firmly demonstrates your commitment to your chosen gender when you apply to the government's Gender Recognition Panel. However, if you already have a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) you do not need a deed poll to switch your name as your GRC is proof for governmental bodies (i.e. passport office). <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ukdeedpolloffice.org/transgender-name-changes/|title=Transgender Name Changing Services By UK Deed Poll Office|website=The UK Deed Poll Office|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-09-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230604175503/https://www.ukdeedpolloffice.org/transgender-name-changes/|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>
