 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 recognized by the general public or businesses/organizations. If used as honorary title for a cis gendered person with an unisex name who has not declared their pronouns, these honoraries can be confusing and disrespectful for misgendering a cisgendered person as nonbinary. 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]].
