I recently joined a new member to the library, who asked that their "title" on our records would be Mx rather than Mr or Miss/Ms/Ms- which of course I did.

I had not come across this gender- neutral title before, but Mx Google tells me that the usage has been around for some time.

Our system has now been changed to give Mx as one of the options in the title box, but this has made me wonder why we need to have these titles anyway, and I often leave that box blank.
