I'm not a big fan of it personally, all titles in English feel like they fundamentally belong in the past. In a time when everyone generally referred to each other by last name and the titles actually conveyed important information about the person you were referring to, namely whether you mean the patriarch of the family Mr. Smith, or his wife Mrs. Smith (who doesn't use her own name in official paperwork at all generally) or his son Mr. Smith Jr, or his daughter Miss Smith, and so on. These days we would just say John and his wife Jane and his son Johnny and his daughter Dorothy, and if we're being formal we'd use first and last name. And yes we'd include the titles but at that point they feel somewhat vestigial.

i'm not gonna say that this is why i'm getting a doctorate, but it certainly is a fun bonus

my full name is actually "comrade professor doctor Lerios PhD" and i SHALL be referred to as such (eventually lmao)

I don't like it personally, as an agender person. I would prefer not to have a title like that be used at all (like seriously what is the point) but otherwise I prefer comrade.

I dislike it cause I think like a lot of gender neutral stuff it goes the route of trying to be inbetween the binaries rather than separated, and so when actually spoken it sounds way more like "Miss" than "Mister" and IMO that's just like poor quality and kind of lazy.

And also it kind of has a position as basically the "fine, here you fuckers go" concession title, so if you would prefer something else or just not being titled its not really factored in, because no freedom of expression has been inserted into most processes, its just a slight expansion of the hard boundaries.

Comrade is a far better gender neutral term.

The names of pretty much all army ranks are gender neutral. Do a stolen valor and give yourself a rank for a title.

Reverend (Rev.) is also a pretty good title, though you'd have to either associate with or found your own church. Then again, at that point, you've got a church. You can call yourself whatever you want.

Addendum: I appreciate that Dr is gender neutral, I cannot in good conscience recommend that people go around claiming to be a doctor.

Sounds futuristic. 😎

it's nice

I'd use it if someone wanted ig, but calling someone "mix" is kinda weird. Like "Latinx" it seems like something people came up with because it looks okay written down rather than something that was conceived to be actually pronounced and used in daily speech

Is there a way to pronounce that?

sorry Elon I'm still calling it Mtwitter

If I, for whatever reason, must add a title to my name, it's what I use, but I really don't care to use titles period.

How do you say it?

Neutral. What I still don't get is folxs. Isn't folks already gender friendly?

it sounds perfectly fine, Mx Dirt_Owl

It's what I use when given it as an option.

Just add two letters and you get Minx. Which I'd love to be called
