Talk:Gender-neutral title

Tag
I've removed the tag because there are a lot more sources in the article now. If anyone would like to do so, adding a new tag is fine - specify here what exactly the problems are and we can try to find good sources for the claims. Cassolotl (talk) 16:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Title
Stands to reason (IMHO) that this page should be titled "Gender-neutral title", but I'm aware that seemingly innocuous MoS moves often conjure a maelstrom of controversy, so I figured I had better ask here first. Joefromrandb (talk) 23:23, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Professional titles aren't honorifics
There is no need to mention the professional titles, they are not honorifics, which is what this article is about. There are dozens of professional neutral titles, this is about the attempt to include a gender neutral title as a honorific, which it currently lacks. Mentioning the professional titles is just trivia that everyone already knows.★Trekker (talk) 09:02, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * It's worth noting that the article includes which lists Dr as a title. Are you suggesting that should also be changed? Lineslarge (talk) 11:04, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually English honorifics seems to disagree with your point. It includes professional titles. Lineslarge (talk) 11:08, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I disagree with all those things but maybe some sources doesn't. Well I can't argue against verifiable sources even when I think they're full of shit. I'll leave it be.★Trekker (talk) 20:16, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Wording
'A gender neutral title is a title that does not indicate the gender of the person being formally addressed' is offensive, TBH. 'Indicating the gender' implies that there is a valid binary gender choice that is just being obfuscated, instead of the fact that the binary gender system may not fit or apply to the person being referenced. Perhaps '... does not limit the gender...' or '... allows other than binary genders to be addressed'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.47.18.240 (talk) 09:34, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Comrade as a title
I have gone ahead and removed the addition of Comrade as being included in this article as there seems to be no reliable sources to back it's popular use. From what I am finding from the sources on this page, and with some brief source searching, there is no evidence to suggest that "comrade" is used frequently enough to consider it a notable addition. I will concur with above to the regard that the article of the same title on the nonbinary wiki do not constitute reliable sources, however, even to the extent to which they provide insight to this topic, Comrade is not included.

Mistrum
We should be on the lookout for reliable sources for "Mistrum" as this gender-neutral title seems to be gaining traction on social media and blogs. It's apparently based on Latin grammar (see -trum). Nosferattus (talk) 17:06, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
