I love ascending beyond gender with the 'dr' title

Right?? I didn't like "Ms" or "Mx" or really anything except sooooort of "Miss," and that's so tied in with blinking neon gender signs, meh. But "Dr" is a fantastic gender! It conveys no information beyond "this person knows quite a bit about some kind of subject area", just the way I like it.

#my parents immediately made the requisite joke #they were like. oh hey and now if you're on a plane and they're like 'is anyone here a doctor?!'#you can say 'yes! do you need help with your prepositions?'#of course it's actually in early modern literature so it's more like #'i am! let's talk about the sometimes necessary yet doomed and self-destructive art of revenge #some people think the fundamentally tragic and cyclic nature of revenge indicates that revenge is never the right choice #but i would argue that the repressive power of the state against private revenge #while failing to address the root causes is the real cycle! ...oh look he's dead'#ladytharen #respuestas #nice things people say to me #gender blogging #ivory tower blogging
