I had no idea Mx was a thing
Well now you know so if you meet someone using Mx you won't knee jerk fire them.
This was my first time hearing of it too.
I had a brainfart and thought this had something to do with MX linux. Carry on...
What the fuck it it anyway?
Like Latinx (though apparently most Latin American people don't really like this from the last survey I saw). It's a genderless way to refer to someone. You replace the gendered letters with x (like the most common variable name in math is, I assume, where it comes from).
"Mix", basically.
It's just replacing the second letter in Mr or Ms with an X as a neutral variable
Ah, I still have a bunch of those from when I was a kid. Either tape or CD
I got you back to zero but good luck. It’s not okay to pick on ANYONE not a white dude. So. Stop it. Also, every cd I burned in the early 00ts had for its 4th track metallicas “unforgiven” as both a homage and a fuck you.
It has to be the stupidest thing I've read all day
I'm getting to that age where there's shit that's weird and I "don't get it". My reaction to "Mx" is a resounding "... alright".
It doesn't effect, inconvenience, or cost me anything to say. I can think of no good reason not to address someone "Mx" if they ask me to.
How do you even say it, what is its purpose, why does it matter? All of the possible ways I can think of pronouncing this sound absolutely stupid, same with fucking Latinx. There's no actual way to pronounce the fuckin word
