My pronouns:

She, her
Or, alternatively, use:
They, them, their

Honorific title:

Mx (pronounced 'Mix,' which is the full spelling), rather than Miss or Mr.

I gather that Laverne Cox has repeatedly been quoted saying that “misgendering a transgender person is an act of violence.” This is too true!

Possibly even more so is 'deadnaming,' where a person's former name is used. My name is Margaret!

Of course, slips will happen and that's OK, but it is important to make an effort. When two of my siblings decided as adults to revert to the names on their brith certificates we all made the effort to change from using their childhood nicknames. It wasn't that hard after a while.

I'm my mother's offspring and my brother Lawrence's sibling (though he calls me his sister, which is OK). To my brother's kids I'm Uncle Margaret.

My ex-fiancé, Jenny, called me her partner (now we're just very good friends).

I've been using Mx, a non-binary transgender title, since 2002 and I'm possibly the earliest user of it who is still using it today. In recent years the use of Mx has really taken off in several English-speaking countries, with many goverments, banks, other organisations and dictionaries recognising it.

See my major article about this non-binary transgender title, with a little about the singular they (which also has a fascinating history):

About Mx, with Miss, Mrs, Mr, Ms,

and the singular they

BTW, "non-binary transgender" is by far the best way of describing Mx, rather than "gender neutral."
