Origin
After the inauguration of U.S. President Joe Biden on Jan. 20, 2021, the new administration wasted no time making changes to the White House website. Among those changes, website visitors noticed that the contact form allowed users to choose more gender-inclusive prefixes and pronouns.
The change was pointed out by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD):

The website’s contact form now allows people to choose from the prefixes Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr., Mx., other, or none. The pronoun options are she/her, he/him, they/them, other, or prefer not to share. These changes were widely praised by LGBTQ advocates.
