Let's say there's someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don't know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn't assume their gender?

Not a contemporary one, but during the French Revolution, they used 'Citizen' for everyone.

    Which, in French, is "citoyen" (masculine) or "citoyenne" (feminine). Not a neutral gendered word.
