Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In the real world, Mx gained widespread recognition across the United Kingdom in the mid-2010s as a gender-neutral title on passports, driving licences, and in major institutions like banks, broadcasters and the Royal Mail.[source needed]
- It is generally pronounced mix, as in the DWU, or otherwise mux; occasionally mixter.[source needed]
- Coincidentally, "Mx" was an alias used by Mickey Smith in the 2005 short story Alien landing confirmed, predating the title's growth in the 2010s.
