Mr, Mrs, Miss... and Mx: Transgender people will be able to use new title on official documents
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 usually use Dr. prefix if any at all It has always seemed a weird outdated concept to me that anybody feels the need to know the sex of an individual in any correspondence.

I'm glad to see this, the more we get away from the gender binary, the better.

Is the whole point of transgender moving your identity from one sex to the other?

(I thought transgender people wanted to be known as the gender they feel as though, this individualises it more imo :/)

Can I get a witness?

This is good for the people who want to be acknowledged as transgender but most transitioning people I would think would want to be recognised as the gender they went to

Exactly! It's nice to see something for this topic. But I feel it excludes them even more. They are changing their gender identity, if they're ftm, they would want to use Mr, not Mx. And the other way round for mtf.

great news - anything that can help anyone fit in if they feel outcast-ed must always be held in good light.

It's an option for trans people and that's good. Some people don't identify as a specific gender, this will help them massively.
