To address a person with no gender, use gender-neutral terms such as 'they/them' pronouns. For example, instead of saying 'he' or 'she,' use 'they.' In formal settings, use titles like 'Mx.' (pronounced mix) instead of Mr. or Ms. Always ask for the person's preferred pronouns to show respect and inclusivity.
