      What if we move in the opposite direction and go with doctrix?

      And I mean for everybody. Like a gender-bending neutral.

        neutral

        What makes a man turn neutral? Is it lust for money? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

    Well, actually the “pronoun” would be “The Doctor”. And since it applies in both contexts, it’s applicable to both. However it’s really not a pronoun as much as it’s A unique Proper-noun/noun/pronoun tri-brid.

    Basically, it’s all really confusing, we should all just acknowledge this as a Quantum-noun and move on.
