[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and they call me everything.  Mrs. Last  Ms. Last Miss Last or just Miss. The only ones I’m not okay with are Mx or just my first name.  [/quote]

What is “Mx” ?[/quote]

It's pronounced like the racial slur "micks."  Why they chose a racial slur as the new way to signal a progressive gender identity, I cannot say. [/quote]

Why are married men called "Missed her"? It makes no sense?!

Next year in third grade you'll learn about homophones.

But "missed her" isn't offensive.

A more analogous word would be "harassment."  I'm old enough to remember the Anita Hill hearing when this became controversial because it sounded like "her a$$ meant."  So for a while it became fashionable to call it "hair-ess-ment."

In either case, both Mister and Harrassment are established words. Mx is a neologism (newspeak) so they literally invented a title that sounds like a slur against Irish people.  Bizarre. I have to wonder if this is all just an elaborate game to see how far people can be pushed into self-debasement.  Next thing you know, the popular salutation will be "namaste, donkey-face" and everyone will nod back in dutiful compliance. [/quote]
