been there so yes-lately I'm especially triggered writing to my rep congressman and the form always asks for my salutation-I say MD-he responds MISS-I actually called his office on that.

TBH I’m not triggered but it’s the subtle (or not so subtle) denial of respect for professional women

Yes- or all women for that matter

I wish every MD would call the congressman, just to let them know that it's insulting and, since they're about to become extinct in the political arena, they really ought to learn to respect the people who actually keep them alive because they have to, not because they're important!

He didn't change that but left off the line at the end that says "it is the honor of my lifetime to serve as your rep"...but I also complained about that so there's that! It's the small wins I guess
