    There’s no reason to gender the word Mayor, a Mayor is a Mayor despite whatever bits they have.

      There you are wrong. The official titel of a female mayor is “mayoress”, so it is “Mr. Mayor” and “Madam Mayoress”. Well, at least in the UK.

      Source: I had to deal with them last week.

        That’s weird but I accept it for the UK. That’s doubly confusing when the term can also refer to the Mayor’s partner.
