I wear all of my hospital badges and my university faculty/staff ID on an annoyingly conspicuous lanyard because I got sick of being mistaken for a patient or study participant: the only reasons a trans person might ever be visible in a research setting, apparently.

A man at a meeting I attended recently made a big deal about how his office door doesn't say "Professor", just his name, and that's how he encourages healthy research culture. I pointed out that that works for him because, unlike me, he probably won't be mistaken for his own secretary.
Prof Rachel Oliver
Ah, I see the internet is determined to continue showing its ass this weekend.
A woman spends years earning her degree only to be told that if she uses her title, she's pretentious.
Dr Lindsey Fitzharris
While this might be a good follow anyone that puts Dr in thier handle is by definition pretentious and using it for marketing. Just explaining your a historian is good enough. To bad
I've gained new followers off the #AI impersonation debacle, so I'd like to introduce the REAL me.
I'm Dr Lindsey Fitzharris & I'm a medical historian. Yes, it's a real job! If you ever wondered how you'd treat a toothache in 1782, or what would happen if you broke a leg in 1845, I'm your gal. /1
