Yes, please make Mage/mg a title!

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage" some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg. benefits of mg: - easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh") - ONE SYLLABLE!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually - ends in a soft vowel sound, so it flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence) - fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter - distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps) - wizard. drawbacks: - there aren't any - yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.

@ruawhitepaw Sure why not go for it!
But why title at all?
I can understand why maybe a vehicle needs a title, but a human? I don't know.
Have a 👍 good one!

@henriksundstrom Of course, it's not really needed. But if people are going to use them, or want them, this seems like a better option than what we have. :3

@ruawhitepaw Magister suits me just fine, since in Swedish magister is a title for male teacher.
Do what is good for you.

@ruawhitepaw This is the first title I've ever seen that I would actually like using and wouldn't trigger any disphoria or other bad feels! :wow: (Mx is bad for same reasons stated in post.)

@ruawhitepaw@chitter.xyz As you wish Mg Rua.

🎶That is working; that's the way you do it; get your titles for nothing; get your tiny little dinosaur babies for free🎶

@ruawhitepaw I do appreciate that term. "Mage Machina" sounds comfortable. Although, then again, so do "Miss Machina" and "Mix Machina".

@ruawhitepaw speaking of units, ms is millisecond, and MR is megarems (which to be fair I’ve never actually seen used, its 1,000 times the dose of radiation that is guaranteed to kill you 100% of the time)

More seriously millirems (mR) is a common unit and people don’t always capitalize everything correctly so I think it counts

But yeah I am totally down for this
