A gender neutral title is an honorific titles except Miss, Mrs, Ms and Mr, 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.Activists and supporters are working toward awareness and acceptance of alternative titles.

Gender neutral titles

Mx.

Mx. is a title commonly used by genderqueer people. Nat Titman spoke about its usage and brought it into popular acceptance. Among all other gender neutral titles, Mx. is the mostly used one.

Misc

Misc or sometimes 'misk' is another gender neutral pronoun. The word is derived from the Latin word miscellus, meaning “mixed,” following the rationale that a lot of genderqueer people would say that they have aspects of various genders at various times.

Pr

Pr is used as gender neutral title to replace 'he' or 'she'.

Ind

Ind, which stands for Individual, is a newly created gender-neutral title. This title may be more appropriate for those who do not feel Mx meets their gender-neutral standards, since Mx inherently stands for "mix". Ind was created to be free of gender, entirely, thus making it a better option for agender and gender nonconforming persons.
