I was watching this video from a mixed-race female doctor about how she heard another doctor introducing himself to a patient by saying "I'm (name) and I'll be your doctor" and it occurred to her that she never once EVER considered introducing herself by her first name because her experience as a mixed-race female is so drastically different. She always says "I'm Doctor (name)." because she always has to reinforce to patients that she is a doctor and not a nurse.

I have often seen this with female-presenting professors, especially people of color, and as far as that goes, male-presenting as well. Infuriating. I'm not polite about it. 21st century, supposedly.
