Are you a man? Getting the title has helped me so much in life.

I'm sure it's helped you. And I'm getting that, and I think that's come through clearly. I am non-binary.

So ever since I got "Dr", I have received the healthcare I was begging for on the NHS (lfe-saving stuff), I have been treated better in every situation in which people knew my title. I literally do not think I would be alive if I didn't get it because of the causal chain here.

That's great it helped you, but you don't deserve those things any more or less after you got the PhD than you did before.

Yes, it's disgusting. But to take it away from me would take my ability to access this stuff.

Take away the title 'Mr' and maybe men wouldn't be listened to as much. So let's keep it.

Totally disingenuous take on what I am saying IMHO. Anyway, I've explained it as best as I can here:https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1138456982468386817 …

Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ @o_guestReplying to @AcademicAngsty @LisaDeBruineI hate cars (they pollute even if electric) but to take away my car in a country without public transport would harm me. It's the same thing. Fight the system not the individuals trying to survive by taking away their harmless (in the grand scheme of things) coping mechanisms.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

It's the same. The title gives you a privilege you do not want removed, even though you agree the title is nonsensical.

Nope. You think a medical doctor listening to me is a privilege? That's them doing their job.

Which they should do regardless of your title. The fact they didn't is awful. But that doesn't provide support for your notion only lets me know those doctors were pricks.

Most/many doctors, to be fair.

If only they didn't have a title which made them somehow superior
