Is Mx. pronounced "Mix?"
I'm all for gender-inclusive language and try to use it as much as possible (ie "mail person" instead of "mail man" and using "they" instead of defaulting to "he" when gender is unknown). But God am I tired of replacing everything with an X, haha.
I'd just call them "teacher [last name]" like how college professors tend to go by "professor [last name]" and call it a day.
I’m a nonbinary teacher. My students just call me by my last name with no honorific most of the time
How do you assert your authority over a bunch of children without forcing them to acknowledge your superiority every time they address you? /s
