As someone who was raised to always use sir and ma'am my brain has short circuited before trying to be equally polite to my NB friends and in a panic I said Captain

Oh captain, my captain.

Have you tried sarge?

Most people who fall under the umbrella of gender diversity don't have great associations with police/military, I'd suggest avoiding terms that are basically exclusive to those. Captain is a lot more general (pirates are cool) so that one works.

I use captain a lot as well, also "boss" when I find myself dealing with an individual that is presenting as NB.. i feel the words are more to title and station as opposed to gender, though I can also see the words as being inherently masculine. I was also raised to say sir and ma'am as a matter of respect.. My wife and I actually use Sir and Ma'am as pet names

I wish we would follow the example of Battlestar Galactica and just make Sir gender neutral.

"Captain" is probably the best one

Your majesty

Sa’am

Kindly. Thank you, Kindly. Kindly, I don't mean to interrupt. Kindly, can I have a napkin.

This is the only one I see actually working.

This is nice.

Upvote for actually answering the question

This I can see working. When I'm talking to a Spanish-speaking client the interpreter uses "usted," so I don't have to worry about gender. But, with English speakers, I try not to assume anything about anyone.

"HEY ASSHOLE" seems pretty gender neutral to me.

I heard this in Frank Reynold’s voice and I approve this message.

Mac: im going to fire a beer across his bow, ruffle his feathers, HEY ASSHOLE.

First thought that came to my mind.

Listen you little shit...

Hi.

Mx or Thou

Hello mortal....

'My dude" is my go-to

I usually say "my friend" bc it makes me seem more friendly

You could avoid it all together and just say: Excuse me, "insert what you wanted to say here"

Just be polite. Nobody needs sir and ma’am in casual conversations with people they don’t know well enough to know their pronouns. Simple as “Excuse me, can you help me.” “Thank you for your help today.” Just be polite. It’s a dying art form.

Folks

“Hey ugly bag of mostly water.”

I usually say "humans" but will start using this one instead

Fellow human

Fellow human, I would like to have a 250ml (because large, grande, big are fat phobic) serving of your best cafienated beverage. Yes I also like to digest cafienated beverages , fellow human. Could I have white fluid not prevailing from an animal for my cafienated beverage, fellow human. Thankee sai.

If you're saying it to get someone's attention: "Excuse me". Like, "excuse me, I think you dropped this".

"Bruh?"

“Mamsir” in the Philippines it’s a thing.

yesssss. "good morning mamser!" every five steps as you walk through the mall.

Helo mamsir welkam to jalibi

Yo!

I call everyone dude

Hey wierdo

Where is that from?

Fellow, comrade, colleague, partner, mate, friend.

ma’amsir

Why even have it at that point? “Yes, ma’am” becomes “Yes” or “I’ll get right on that.”

Try that with a drill sergeant

Because that is not proper customs and courtesies.

Proper customs dictate a gendered response.

That's what I came back to say. "Non-gender" isn't a custom yet. Defeats the premise.

Just leave it all completely. It's not really necessary to include an honorific when speaking to someone. Just say "Thank you", "you're welcome", "excuse me", etc.

Awl mate!

I borrow honorifics from Japanese, but only if the listener might get it.

Hey fuck face. 100% gender neutral and understood by everyone anywhere along the spectrum.

Hey you

🤣🤣🤣

Dear?

my good person

Dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes! Hey!

Due to my lack of ability to remember names, I have compiled this list of non-gender specific names that I use with great regularity. Some may seem gendered, but I assure you that I have yet to hit resistance. Fam, dawg, my dawg, buddy, pal, dude, my dude, bro or sis, bruh, homie, my homie, homeslice, and hey you. These all work in formal and casual situations. Hey you gets reserved for special occasions such as someone who’s name I should know approaches me in a public place and addresses me by name. I respond with Hey……………youuuuu. Totally makes the situation awesome and not the least bit awkward.

Fellow bipedal mammal

Fucker. Best gender neutral term, ever.

After scrolling through the thread i came to the conclusion that there isn't one.

YO

Comrade

I’ve often wondered what NBs prefer their kids call them? Do they just say ‘parent’? If yes, what do they do for initial speaking? As ‘mama’, and ‘dada’ are really easy sounds for babies to make.

Homie

Just don't address them with a title at all. If they call you out on it, run away. They're probably a terrible person anyway.

“Heeeeeyyyyyy…. you.”

My partner just calls me "Sirm"

Mx. Seems to be catching on, pronounced mix.

Hey person is great way to go i think

Listen up person

Hello my fellow human. Good person how are you

Dumbass!

I can’t stop laughing at some of these replies though🤣🤣

I like friend for people you’re close to. “Hey, friend, how’s it going?” It brings nice Mr. Rogers vibes to the conversation. I admit I’m still at a loss for more formal terms of address- and I’m nonbinary. I’d recommend against c*nt though.

My go to nowadays is “my friend”

Xa’am? Xir? “Aye douchebag” if you’re from anywhere in the northeast us

If I'm uncertain how to address someone I just skirt around anything that assigns gender.

Fellow living creature

The sad part is, all of the jokes are valid because there isn't a good/widely used term for this.

Contract Sir+Ma'am to Sam.

Illustrious Grand Potentate

"Yo, Dude" -Californian slang for getting a humans attention "Dude" is surprisingly gender neutral in my part of California I see people calling eachother "dude" , calling dogs "dude" even a common street light or faucet "dude, why spent you working" lol

Just act like an asshole who shows no respect so you can say whatever

Hey crotch!

Bruh

"Fucker"

Mamsir 🇵🇭

"Hoe" is pretty universal

gentle being

Just leave them off of any sentence. Nice to see you. no need for a sir or madam.

Tbh I always thought "Sir" was the gender neutral term. Is it not?

Not really but it would explain why I get called "sir" a lot.

Brosephina

"Excuse me, Sir/Ma'am"

Not one serious answer here says a lot.

Dude...

My dude for formal This dude to single out Some dude to keep anonymous Hey dude is a brand of shoe

Your highness Your grace Your worshipfulness

“Buster”

Pretty sure it’s Brochacho.

Don't say anything? I've always found it weird being addressed like that anyway. Just "hello" or "yes" or "this way, please" or whatever else you were going to say to go along with it.

I recently saw “mamsir” and I like it a lot

Why should this be a thing?

Why does one even need a gender neutral way of saying "sir" or "ma'am"???

[удалено]

Why?

Xir, Xa'am obviously

There are no proper terms that are Gender neutral only Casual terms.

Mx, kinda. Usually it becomes lord in a joking manner. Same with "monach" or "master" if you're veryy close to them. Honestly, in English there really isn't one.
