@LordKAT, she's in the UK where a title might have legal standing (unlike in the US where it's just usually considered a courtesy).

There is no legal requirement to have an honorific title expressed in a deed poll. How you address yourself is entirely up to you.

The use of 'Ms' is a complicated one. My partner uses Ms and many organisations get it wrong for her. She gets called anything from Miss, Mrs or sometimes when they get it right - Ms.
Nobody's perfect ...   I'll never try,
But I promise I'm worth it, if you just open up your eyes,
I don't need a second chance, I need a friend,
Someone who's gonna stand by me right there till the end,
If you want the best of my heart, you've just gotta see the good in me.

Which is why I asked.

the more i think about it the more i would like to just miss out a title. for the institutions the demand one because their systems cant cope without one i would use mx. i dont know if i can do both will be interesting to find out. i was just writing down who i would have to inform and its getting to be a long list. although i would luv to use ms im not far enough into transition. i might never want to use ms i dont know yet so im hovering in the neutral zone.

The title has absolutely no legal standing in the UK either. It's entirely voluntary! I never used one on my Statutory Declaraion (in fact was advised against it not that I was considering it)  The only difference between the UK and US is that organisations for some reason seem a little more insistnt that people select one. There's usually the "other" option anyway
