I am lucky, since the age of 24 I have had a Gender Neutral Title...

Dr Buffy is quite nice to use and doesnt indicate marriage status either.

  It's posted because it's relevant to transgendered life.  Many TG's have never had to consider the proper usage of a prefix and therefore this topic helps explain it.

ok...I just felt..there are times..some..questions...seem..to me...personally...like someone is playing games.
what name do you use..what title do you use..
some of these things seem to me to be redundant...they are what I call self evident...
ya just figure it out for yourself.
that's what being an adult is.
to ME..these remind of some teenie bopper that has no clue what the world is all about.

I just personally lose patience.

so I did ask..I said is it just me?

my bad
I'm sorry.

I do agree that there are some questions that seem silly.  However, they may not be quite so silly depending on where you are in transition.  Take the quetion of this topic for instance.  It may seem completely irrelevant to you, but suppose there is somebody about to begin RLT and it never crossed their mind what to call themselves.  By seeing what other TS call themselves, it may give them some ideas of what to use.  So a lot of it really depends on your point of view.

I have actually stated to use Ms as a prefix. I would preferr that over Mr but sometimes I have to provide the later.

I've sometimes used Ms, have thought of using Mx since that doesn't go with either gender. I dislike being called Mr, when someone calls me that it sounds like they want to talk to my father.

Hi tinkerbell,

As a new member I thought I would go through some of the topics and polls that are on this site and put my 2 cents worth in, plus I think is good for new members to visit and reply to some of the old topics.

Hugs Sharon

Debbie_Anne

I usually refer to myself as Debbie, although since I first began to use Debbie Anne as an online name even before I transitioned, it has stuck and to this day I have friends who will introduce me as Debbie Anne. Getting back on-topic, either Miss or Ms would be appropriate.  I really haven't decided which I prefer just yet.

most of my mail is addressed to; [ms. katia yada, yada, yada] so i guess that makes me a [ms.]

KarenLyn

I usually use Ms, and other people tend use Ms or Mrs depending on if Andy is with me or not.
