Doctoress. Didn't realize it was actually a word and feel like we should use it more because it's awesome.

It does kind of sound cool but I thought the current trend was to move away from needlessly gendered language, especially with how in English a lot of feminine nouns are intentionally made to sound like a diminutive form of the masculine version

Definitely agree with preferring non-gendered language. But it also doesn't feel like right to default to the (historically) masculine version either.
