No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Transitioning is also a grueling process. Drag has a degree and drag is more proud of drag's body than of the piece of paper. It might be different for postgraduate, drag is in the process of finding out. Drag is worried about becoming a doctor and losing the choice to use a different title if drag wants. Right now drag would rather be Dr than Mx, but drag doesn't want to lose options in case a better option comes along later.
Generally, getting certifications/memberships gives you more options for honorifics, not fewer; you get to use any that are appropriate.
And for instance, if someone has a PhD and an MDiv, they can go by Reverend, Doctor, Reverend Doctor or Mx, and they’re all appropriate; it all depends on context and what you’re trying to communicate.
So Doctor Drag (he/him) is appropriate, as is Mx Drag, PhD.
Thank you, although it felt very uncomfortable for drag to read he/him pronouns for dragself. Drag transitioned to get away from he/him, the example in the post body is just an example of some imaginary doctor. Drag's pronouns are drag/dragself, and drag's name is not drag. Drag's name is Dragon "Rider".
I would hope that you have the freedom to use whatever title you want to.
I just realised Dr. could work as a shortened version of Drag, so you could think of your future title as "Drag Firstname Lastname".
