What does ‘Mx’ stand for?

‘Mx’ stands for a gender-neutral title you can use to address people as an alternative to gender-specific titles.

Rather than the usual ‘Mr’, ‘Miss’, ‘Mrs’, or ‘Ms’ courtesy titles, use ‘Mx’ to start your cover letter if:

• you’re unsure of the recipient’s gender
• the recipient doesn’t identify with a certain gender or marital status
• the recipient goes by ‘Mx’ in other documents
