What courtesy titles are approved for use with these pronoun selections?

[rax]

Mx. is preferred! (pronounced "Mix") Ms. is... tolerable. "The" is also acceptable, as in:

The Rachel Dillon
100 E Street Name
Tucson, AZ 85716

Because that's awesome.

[anacoluthon]

Ooooh, I hadn't thought of "The" before. I know Enne suggested "Rear Admiral" to a friend who wanted a title to use.

[krinndnz]

I am also fond of "that" - America's only native title of nobility.

As in, "oh, you're THAT Judith Butler!"

[rax]

I have also been "not THAT rax! the good one!"

[shatterstripes]

Yeah I put off meeting you for a while because of meeting the other Rax on Taps first.

[madcaptenor]

There's another one?

[rax]

There is another furry Rax, yes. We are very different.

Before I got my new badge with my full name on it, when students asked what my first name was, I answered "Sir."

...none of them believed me.

This is not the only reason I have a doctorate, but it's one of the big beneficial side-effects thereof.

[madcaptenor]

I have a doctorate and have thought that, but it's really annoying to be that asshole who always insists on being called Dr. Lastname.

[rysmiel]

It was useful during most of a year of working alongside my parent of the appropriate gender such that it resolved an otherwise real ambiguity, though.

So very very glad I am not doing that any more.
