Except it's not like that at all, because you just made that honorific up!

Mx. has an actual cultural context outside of their classroom. Sure, it's new, but it's not like this teacher just made it up themselves.

What is that context? You failed to include it.

The context is Mx. already being used and recognized around the country and around the world. It's new, but it's not just something the teacher made up.
