      What if we move in the opposite direction and go with doctrix?

      And I mean for everybody. Like a gender-bending neutral.

    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.”

    I had an art history professor that insisted on being called doctor; she said she’d put in a lot of time and spent a lot of money to get that degree, and so she wanted to get her money’s worth.

    She was a lot of fun.

      I bet she was.

      I’ve never meet someone who insisted on being called doctor that was anything except fun and reasonable to work with.

      They love it when you let them know you also have a PhD…

        I was being serious. She made art history–which is normally a fairly dry subject, particularly when you’re covering art before 1100CE–a really fun and engaging subject.

    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.)
