Rejected petition Change titles to reflect gender equality and inclusivity

Change the titles 'Mr, Miss and Mrs' to 'Mr (Male), Ms (Female) and Mx (Non-binary/undefined)'

More details

It is important that we continue to shift the rules of our society that were built on patriarchal and gender binary beliefs.

A woman's marital status should no longer be advertised in her title, as it reflects a history of female repression and inequality.

A person should also have the option to not be defined by one of two genders and to present themselves, reflective of who they are.
