| gender-neutral honorific or title of courtesy, equivalent to Ma'am, Madam, Miss, Mr, Mrs, Mrs, Sir. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Considerations | ||||
|  | ||||
| In formal settings, defaulting to gendered titles of courtesy can misgender people. While titles and salutations are not necessarily indicative of gender, there tends to be a corrolation. For example, **Ma'am** tends to be used to refer to woman- or femme-assumed individuals. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Mx allows you to maintain formality without making assumptions about people's titles/saluations and/or gender. | ||||
|  | ||||
| In the same vein of [pronouns](/definitions/pronouns), it's important to not make assumptions about which honorific to use for someone and instead ask for explicit consent whenever possible. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Many (though not all) nonbinary people might opt to use Mx. | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Pronunciation | ||||
|  | ||||
| mix (məks, ˈmiks) | ||||
