I don’t intend for this to come out as jerky, but how many non-binary adults are there who are in positions (such as teaching) that require honorifics? It seems like most of them non-binaries I know//hear about are teens. I don’t hear of too many adult non-binaries.

There are several at my kid’s school.

I know some non-binary adults (30s-40s) and we use honorifics with all adults with our kid. We ask and usually use Mx as that's the most common preference.

How do you pronounce that?

You don't. It's unpronounceable, not oral, only written.
