Non-binary vocabulary options:
According to website Amino: “There are two honorifics that are picking up steam (on the Internet and in real life) … The first is ‘Madamonsieur’, a combination of ‘Madame’ and ‘Monsieur’ in the style of ‘Mademoiselle’. The second is a bit shorter, ‘Masieur’, which is a simpler combination of ‘Madame’ + ‘Monsieur’. The abbreviations for these honorifics are ‘Mms.’ and ‘Ms’.”
