Gender neutral title : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gender neutral title
The term gender neutral title refers to an honorific title that does not indicate the gender of the person being addressed, such as in a letter or other communication, or when introducing the person to others. By comparison, the traditional honorifics of Miss, Mrs, Ms and Mr all indicate the binary gender (i.e., "gender" in the traditional sense) of the individual. The newer term "Mx" avoids specifying gender not only for persons who wish not to indicate traditional gender (male or female) but also for persons whose gender identity does not fit the gender binary. Honorifics are used in situations when it is inappropriate to refer to someone only by their first or last name, such as when addressing a letter "Dear Mx Jones" or when introducing the person to others. Activists, supporters and others are working toward awareness and acceptance of alternative honorifics including Mx. Note that in Britain, honorifics are not ended with a period, while in the United States a period is used with the honorifics "Mr." and "Mrs." because they are abbreviations (for Mister and Mistress), as well as with "Ms." in order to preserve the form. "Miss" is not ended with a period because it is not an abbreviated form of a longer word. "Mx" is pronounced "mux" or "mix." ==Gender neutral titles==
