If this is why a website or a form asks for it, and there is no way around it, better just ask for it directly ("How would you prefer to be addressed? He/him, she/her, or neutral?") instead of a choice of 25 historical titles.

I always choose the clergy titles! (Monarch ones are never available)

In Discordian beliefs, everyone (even non-Discordians) is a pope, so this is perfectly legitimate.

What if they want to be addressed by those titles? Mr/Ms is always in the list so what is to be complained about here?
