Transgender People to Now Be Referred to as Mx


Transgender people stuck in between using Mr Mrs or Miss now have an option – They can now be referred to as Mx( for example a man who used to be known as Mr John Brown and decided to got through gender change surgery to become a woman, can now be referred to as Mx Joan Brown instead of Mrs or Miss) according to new reports…

Daily Mail Uk reports that:

A new gender neutral title ‘Mx’ is to join the honorifics ‘Mr, Mrs, Miss and Ms’ on driving licences and other official documents, the first change to officially recognised titles in decades.

Royal Mail, high street banks, government departments and some universities all now accept Mx which is used by transgender people or other individuals who do not identify with a particular gender.

The title has been added, without fanfare, to official forms and databases and is under consideration by the Oxford English Dictionary for inclusion in its next edition.

I think this is only apllicable in the UK as we don’t know of any hospital in Nigeria were sex change surgeries are carried out or are there???
