I don't know much about the language, but I think Czech is one that has gendered nouns. So you have doktor and doktorka, roughly equivalent to doctoress.

I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that at least it doesn't say Lady Doctor.

Edit:
In regards to the database, if it was originally written in a language that has gendered nouns for everything, you can't necessarily just include non-gendered terms for both selections.

You'd probably display it as Doctor for both, in English, but store it as Doctor(M), or Doctor (F).

There's a reason that Feminists make a big deal about gendered language!

Which is really a perfect analogy because a) Skittles are alive and can choose their actions; b) Skittles have been being victimized by other Skittles for five years; c) the deadly Skittles will kill you, yes, you, every single person reading this image macro, the same way literally one refugee terrorist can murder all of America; d) there is no way to tell one Skittle from another besides eating it; and e) oh wait no it's the dumbest analogy I've ever heard.

That's not nystagmus. It might be strabismus, but it's probably just her, you know, focusing on different people at different distances, which is how eyes work.

This is horizontal nystagmus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phpe_RVGqcA.
This is strabismus (specifically one subtype called exotropia):


Completely different thing.
