I'm not a sir. Maybe I should start prefacing all my posts with a ♀?

As far as I'm concerned, "sir" is gender-neutral enough. All the female equivalents in English are awkward.

Edit: So, what honorific do you prefer? "Madam"?

I am not a Starfleet officer. "Sir" is not appropriate.

I don't really like honorifics. "Miss" would be fine, I suppose, if you must have a sir-equivalent.
