A PhD (or other non-medical doctorate) is cool.
Those with PhDs insisting that all others reference them with the honorarium prefix of ‘Dr.’ are pretentious, at best.
Those who believe that anyone with a PhD and who insists upon the usage of the honorarium ‘Dr.’ has special powers of imagination and insight into purely medical matters are prolly mostly stupid fricks that are lucky if they got their GED...

I don’t understand why anyone would care what anyone calls themselves.
She earned a doctorate. If she wants to be called Dr. Biden or Mrs. Biden or Miss Biden or even Mr. Biden. Call people what they want to be called. It takes zero effort.
As for the others in this thread, don’t let anyone else’s idiotic misunderstanding of the title undermine anything.
Jill Biden is a teacher and an educator. An educator who continued studying until she earned a doctorate in teaching. She’s not going to be surgeon general nor will she be giving specific medical advice, aside from probably trying to help convince people to wear masks.
She’s a teacher. She kept teaching even during the vice presidency. I think teaching is a commendable profession.
I had an English teacher in high school who had her doctorate and she was totally bad arse. She got paid more than her bachelor and master degrees coteachers and she was probably the best teacher at the school.
The school called her Dr. they were proud that a teacher of her caliber and education committed to that level of education. it took nothing.
