Did I say that? I tend to prefer no honorifics or neutrals like citizen :)
I have said that androgynous people tend to get 'sir-madam' due to the speaker changing their mind part way, and in an amusing way that's strangely appropriate. But I don't think I was suggesting it seriously -- I'm a proponent of gender neutral language in general.
I also get an honorific of '...then' as in 'can I help you sir', 'can I help you madam', 'can I help you ...then' :)
