Understanding cellular physiology and basic English grammar is now "too woke," apparently.
@doccadence
I was teaching my friend's daughter that antibiotics don't work on viruses.
Someone next to us said ivermectin works.
I politely informed them that it doesn't and they proceeded to tell me it also works on cancer.
I proceeded to tell them that I am a doctor with degrees in cellular physiology and
public health and that ivermectin does not do this.
Their response?
"I bet you have pronouns too".
This is the thought process we are dealing with.

Here it is.
First, this is an argument from authority.
We are supposed to take @doccadence's statement as fact because he implies he alone of those present are qualified to know the answer.
It took me 10 seconds to fact check that researchers have found ivermectin to have viral treatment and anti-cancer properties.
Here is what qoogle scholar returns as top results for searches for ivermectin virus treatment and ivermectin cancer.

My response would have been: My pronouns are Doctor and M.D.

A friend of mine was having an argument with her mother (I'm not sure what it was about, but medicine related). And suddenly her mother tells her "don't believe you know that much just because you are a medic." XD
Clayton Haapala -
Instead of "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?", today it's "Do you train your AI on that thought?"
Phil McCurdy -
You could say your pronouns are 'F' and 'U'
Laura DeCesare -
Buddy, I have *all* the parts of speech.

I’ll take thing that never happened for a thousand Alex.

Well yeah, I've got loads of pronouns, I also got an infinite number of numbers and a whole load of symbols.
Ray Ahern -
‘Yes, I have pronouns… Doctor…”

It’s like playing chess with a pigeon. You do a brilliant move, the pigeon shits on the board, throws around the chess pieces and flies away.
Scott Jones -
Yes its 'Doctor'
Louise O'Morain -
It makes me giggle that if you want to get thoroughly schooled about the deep importance of pronouns, all you need to do is call the xtian god “she” or “her”.
Suddenly, pronouns REALLY matter 😂 😂
Paul Addicoat -
I like to think of it as evolution in action.
Alex B.Z. -

Did you say “I do, it’s Doctor”?
Antonia Haristoy -
In Idiocracy(2006), if you spoke too formal or spoke without a slack jaw, they call the character “gay”. I think “woke” and the movies use of the word “gay” can be interchangeable here.
Elizabeth Figueroa-Torres -
Well, perhaps but more importantly for THIS conversation, my honorific is DOCTOR
James Art Exum -
I hope the response was, "My pronoun is 'Doctor'". I know, it's a title, but that person doesn't know the difference.
Maria Burden -
My pronouns are Lock/Him/Up.
Jacob Myers -
Then you just inform that person that “you” is a pronoun and they just used it
John Venable -
"I bet you have pronouns" not realizing they used a pronoun in that sentence
James Blust -
We're dealing with the people who were taught Biology by the assistant coach.

When they say “woke”, they mean “educated”. And it’s safe to say that they most certainly aren’t “woke”

People will claim to be "anti-woke" but don't stay in bed asleep all day

Umm... Everyone has pronouns? I mean... Don't they? I have pronouns... He/him... I don't think I have ever spoken to a single human on the planet without pronouns...

People get called woke when they choose to call their husbands or wives partners bc that’s “not normal”
People get called woke for saying they/them too much when it’s just pronouns 🤣
I once got called “woke” bc I mentioned the statistics of how we are damaging our world by pollution and dumping toxic waste illegally 🤣
Stay woke my friends!
