So should we stop using Mr., Miss, etc.? Just go by surnames?


I would 100% support this.

It's laughable that someone says people shouldn't advertise gender, and doesn't realize that calling someone Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. is.....advertising gender.


It's a bit crazy for anyone to say that using Mr. or Mrs. is "advertising gender" when for 99.9% of adults it's quite obvious which they are - it's about etiquette, and I think most parents would agree that using an honorific with unrelated adults (whether it's e.g. Mr. first name or Mr. last name) is a good (or at least not a bad) habit for kids to develop


Lol. A gendered honorific is advertising gender. Period. You can say that they are otherwise advertising their gender through what they look like, but the gendered honorific ALSO advertises gender.

There’s a music teacher at a Leesburg elementary school who does.

Super progressive charter school in DC. No "Mx" that I know of. Also wouldn't care.

We're at one of the most progressive private schools in the area, and to my surprise, haven't encountered any teachers who go by Mx.

I should hope that doesn't shape the curriculum. Just as I should hope having a male 6th grade teacher or a female 4th grade teacher doesn't shape the curriculum in the grade they teach.

The non-binary teacher at my school just goes by their first name, which is gender neutral.

I only know of just one in my district (the others are subs and not classroom teachers). There’s a couple non-binary teachers I know of that still use Mr. or Ms. in the classroom.

We have 300ish staff members in my school and no Mx as far as I know. A handful of nonbinary kids using they/them.
