No graduate degrees and only one set of pronouns. I’m so basic.

This is *exactly* the kind of pretentious person I’m talking about: A Renaissance Lit PhD putting “Dr.” in her profile to assert some sort of climate science expertise.
My PhD in literature established my credentials to write about language, and then my climate communications expertise was *earned* with six years of research and writing that led to a book published by Oxford and shortlisted for a prize by Penn. Why are you such a hater? 😂
People like her were called “doctor” back when surgeons were indistinguishable from the town barber.
The misinformation around Intro 948-A didn’t happen by accident. It was manufactured — funded, coordinated, and weaponized. Most people screaming about Intro 948-A have one thing in common: They didn’t read the bill. This article breaks down exactly who lied, why they lied,
I’ve come to despise 99% of our cultural gatekeepers on both the left & right. These people are weird, and have no business trying to be part of the conversation that sets the agenda on how we think & govern.
As a licensed mental health professional in an office of others with masters, our 3 psychologists with PhD’s decided we underlings must start addressing them as “Dr” so clients would know they were special. They stated they earned & deserved the respect. We told them to FO.
Well, this guy has a PhD in Forestry but that doesn’t stop him posting demonstrable nonsense on climate science and other science. I presume you’ll be taking him to task too.
I don't insist on the term, but I don't correct people when they refer to me as Dr. in academic contexts. It is also nice to call someone "Dr." to celebrate the completion of their Ph.D. to acknowledge the milestone in their life. You're overreaching in your critique, by my view.
