Interesting Words - Mx

Brighton and Hove City Councils plan to introduce the title ‘Mx’ on their forms.

(Mx will be used as a gender neutral title for transsexuals.


The x acts as a wild card, taking the usual title format of Mr and Ms and putting in an x to remove the gender in the title.  I don't see why it should only be used for transsexuals though, it seems thoroughly sensible to me.

I can't wait!  Hello my name is Mx Hand.)
