Can a PhD (Or a doctorate or an MD) choose to use a gendered title instead of Dr? For example, suppose an AFAB PhD comes out as a trans man. Is he allowed to use Mister to affirm his gender? Or is he stuck in the gender neutral Doctor zone forever? Does he have to get knighted by the British monarchy in order to get a masculine title?
What do you call an enby doctor?
I had to look up enby, and you have a good point. I don’t have an answer to that. I’m not sure what the best option is there. I think that Doctor is viewed as neutral at this point, but it isn’t for me to say. I mentioned the above for historical purposes but we could have options!
I call an enby doctor Doctor, ditto with men and women doctors - I tend to celebrate gender neutral titles because gender isn’t relevant to professional interactions. Someone intentionally misgendering is an asshole - but it’s unfortunate how much emphasis our language places on gender.
I don’t know what that is but you probably also call them doctor because no one says “doctrix” anyways
