Jessica, with me, and this is only my opinion, not anyone else’s, but a direct approach would be fine. “I noticed you listed ‘Mx’. What way would work best for you being referred to?’ Of course, I also do not know what the laws are in your state that may affect how this would be handled. Granted I would always prefer female pronouns, but if someone slips, so long as it isn’t malicious, I would not have a problem. I hope this helps. Michelle
