This article challenges the outdated use of gendered titles for women, Miss, Mrs., and Ms., that tie a woman’s identity to her marital status. It explores the sexist history of these titles, contrasts them with the universal “Mr.” for men and connects this seemingly small detail to wider gender inequalities in leadership, pay, reproductive rights and societal expectations. It calls for the end of titles that reduce women to their relationship status, urging readers to recognise how language shapes deeper systemic issues.

This article is a deeply personal reflection from a trans woman grappling with the emotional impact of a recent UK Supreme Court ruling that defines “woman” in the Equality Act as referring only to biological sex. She shares the pain and exhaustion of feeling legally sidelined after years of building a life as her authentic self. Despite the hurt, she affirms her identity and resilience, reminding readers that trans people are human, valid, and still here - deserving of dignity, understanding, and respect.

It looks at the potential consequences of both inclusion and exclusion, encouraging respectful discussion and thoughtful policy.
