When my sister got her doctorate, she told her kids now they can no longer call her mama, now it’s dr. mama
When i got mine, my nephews and nieces concatenated uncle and dr, even years later they refer to me as druncle
Yeah…that’s the reason…

Doctor is gender neutral.
What if we move in the opposite direction and go with doctrix?
And I mean for everybody. Like a gender-bending neutral.
Sounds like a dominant female doctor. I’m in.
neutral
What makes a man turn neutral? Is it lust for money? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
So is “folks” but that didn’t stop people from neutralizing it or whatever it’s called.
They neutralize folks?
I wonder how’s that. Folkxs? Fxkls?
“Folx” lmao
Get the folx out of here.
I had no idea they did that to folks lol.
I’m still not convinced we aren’t being fucked with
I’ve heard doctress used for female doctors
Was it in the year 1910?
Y’all joke, I had a college professor on the first day of class say “if you want to call me by my first name, that’s fine. My first name is Doctor.”
It’s strange.

But then they don’t use PhD’s preferred pronouns to refer to PhD in the tweet 😔
I have a cousin who got a knighthood in the UK, but he won’t let me call him ‘sir’ no matter how funny I think it is. (He also has a PhD.)

Well, actually the “pronoun” would be “The Doctor”. And since it applies in both contexts, it’s applicable to both. However it’s really not a pronoun as much as it’s A unique Proper-noun/noun/pronoun tri-brid.
Basically, it’s all really confusing, we should all just acknowledge this as a Quantum-noun and move on.
It’s the right kind of doctor, it checks out!
