Also avoid ‘he or she’ and ‘son or daughter,’ guidelines state

A group at Williams College recently called for the campus community to stop using the terms “Mr.” and “Mrs.” and instead use “Mx.” in an effort to be more inclusive.

It was one suggestion among a list of guidelines recently approved by the Trans Inclusion Committee at Williams College, The Williams Record reports.
