It is currently a part of official structure in UK but surely an act which should be adopted by all the countries and make a Gender-Neutral country. According to Time, the etymology of Mx comes from the fusing the ‘M’ used in all traditional male and female titles, with an ‘x’ to denote the unknown, as used in mathematics.
