Do you use a doctor or doctress?


I prefer doctors.

The real question is: do you go to a dentist or a dentress?

reply

You are getting close to me calling you an anti-dentite

reply

You can't be dentist toward dentists.

Are dentists doctors? 🤔

Are you calling this movie a liar?

reply

Yes. Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine. OTOH, What do you call a doctor who fails out of med school?

I don't consider them to be "real" doctors.

Think outside the gender binary. 🤣

reply

Calling yourself "non-binary" categorizes everyone as binary or non-binary, thus creating a binary system which makes you binary again.

reply

Binary is a two category system. So if you are outside of the 2 categories then you are non-binary. So unless non-binaries are setting up another 2 category system, your statement doesn't make sense to me.

reply

It's not supposed to make sense, it's a joke.

reply

You didn't make it punny enough for me to get that.

reply

I don't know why you take me so seriously.

reply

I think the non-binaries reject the notion that there is a binary. You can't be "non" of something which doesn't exist. It's a conunudrum.
