I began using the honorific title Mx (pronounced,
and spelt in full, as Mix) after hearing that a person was using it in
Victoria who was both transgender and intersex (I wish I could recall
their name or who told me about them). I thought "What a great idea, as
an androgyne this suits me perfectly." Since then most of my bills have
come addressed to Mx Margaret Dylan Jones.
See my major 20,000 word article above, or an
earlier blog for extensive
information and discussion about Mx, including its inclusion in the
Oxford English
Dictionary in early 2015.
Here are scans of some of the many documents I have
kept which show Mx used as a title for myself.
These early records are letters from my medical
specialist to my GP, from one of my sheet music publishers, a phone
bill, an electricity bill, BankCard, AMEX, Medicare, the tax office and
others. Some are shown and discussed in my YouTube video New Mx
title now in OED at https://youtu.be/RoQ6yolk11M
