Gender-neutral title

A gender neutral title is a title that does not indicate the gender identity, whatever it may be, of the person being formally addressed. Honorifics are used in situations when it is inappropriate to refer to someone only by their first or last name, such as when addressing a letter, or when introducing the person to others.

Although varying between cultures, the use of such titles include:

  • Persons who wish not to indicate a gender (binary or otherwise)
  • Persons for whom the gender is not known
  • Persons whose biological sex is not on the gender binary (intersex)
  • Persons whose gender identity does not fit the gender binary
