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 who?
- Dr Them
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’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.
- Who
  
  Doctor
"Listen, lady—!"
"Doctor!"
"Doctor Lady!!"
– MST3K, Space Mutiny
Mister Doctor.
- It's Strange
  
  Who?
- Dr. Mr. Professor Patrick
But then they don't use PhD's preferred pronouns to refer to PhD in the tweet 😔
John Hurt has entered the chat.
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.)
It's the right kind of doctor, it checks out!

- Dr. Allcome.
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.
