Did you end up getting the doctorate or burning out?

It's a lot easier and cheaper to just get ordained online for cheap or free and go by Reverend, like I sometimes do, for the same reasons. I'm a Dudeist Priest. I can marry people! Weeee!

Uuuuuhhh....totally still cis, though.

I did get my doctorate, but ngl I did come pretty close to washing out midway through due to a depressive episode. Turns out the grad school experience is pretty unhealthy much of the time.

If anyone wants to go this route, the Universal Life Church will ordain anyone for free, and all you have to do is fill out a form online. Literally only takes a couple of minutes. https://www.ulc.org/

Also handy if you want to officiate a friend's wedding (and they have handy guides on how to go about that).

Are you referring to my questionable font choice? IDK about the left-hand side of the image, I just downloaded the template but it looked right to me, all I did was add in the text, as one is want to do with memes.

No, the actual meme format appears to be a generated version of the regular meme. The font is fine, I don't think you personally generated the meme.

Doesn't work against "miss" ngl. People will still specify with a "female doctor," even when the context is not needed.

Pretty weird how some languages literally use "o" for all their pronouns while other language say that the table is obviously a woman.

(Azerbaijani and Spanish if anyone's curious)

No. Grammatical gender is it’s own and disconnected thing.
