No Way!

Would I use the prefix Mx.

Transgender woman's request to become 'Ms' refused by NatWest
Staff said she could not have her preferred honorific, but could call herself ‘Mx’ instead – an exchange that left her ‘feeling like a fake’. The bank has now apologised and blamed human error

When Lynn, a transgender woman, contacted her bank to ask them to change her prefix on future correspondence from Mr to Ms, she was surprised at their response.
[…]
NatWest, which is part of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Group, agreed to change her name, but refused to change her title, saying she could remain as “Mr” or change to “Mx (also known as ‘Ms’)” but could not have her preferred honorific – “Ms” – unless she presented a gender recognition certificate (GRC).
[…]
Last Wednesday, Lynn received a phone call from the bank to say they had reached a final decision and would not change her title to “Ms” without a GRC – and that if she wanted to take the issue further, she would have to approach the financial ombudsman.

My first thoughts were, why does the bank even care whether it is Mrs., Ms., or Mr.? It is not part of her legal name; nowhere on the probate form does it even have a space for a title. My next thought was, who wants to use Mx, talk about out yourself.
