Mx is still awkward because there is not a standard pronunciation. It's sometimes pronounced "max", so it sounds like the person is named "Max Somelastname". It is sometimes pronounced "mix", which opens up a non-binary person to unpleasant jokes which write themselves. It is sometimes pronounced "mex", which in the U.S.A. sounds like a racial slur. And the people who pronounce it the different ways all insist that their way is the correct way - and who's to argue with them, since "Mx" has no vowel?

Pronouncing it "Mox" avoids all those issues, so of course no one pronounces it "mox". Or spells it Mox.

I blame the public schools for not teaching children basic anatomy and English (specifically pronouns).
