Re: Mr , Mrs, miss and now mx

I have done away with Sir/madam.
My emails start with

Hi,
I would like to....etc etc

Do you think that is too rude?

Re: Mr , Mrs, miss and now mx

Always found "Oi you" works, no chance of causing gender confusion or offence. As for Mx just another word my poor overloaded brain is expected to store, the database is full and the noggin is well nogged.

we have a transgender friend aged 67 he cannot go the whole way as he has heart problems but he lives his life as a woman, he prefers miss mrs or at a stretch ms, he said that mx makes him think of mistake and he doesent want to be viewd as one.

Re: Mr , Mrs, miss and now mx

Yes I can see were your friend coming from , if one has choice to live like a woman , she will want every thing as much they can to been seen as a woman included Mrs or miss ,


I like your post very sensible and deep in thought

Re: Mr , Mrs, miss and now mx

I don't believe anyone should have a label. I feel that mx in a way down grades the person in the eyes of others. It certainly lets others know that he is different if they see it on paperwork or called out by it at a surgery etc. To me everyone is equal. Mr or Mrs is respectful. I do not think MX is.
