Here in Australia female doctor makes grammatical sense, and woman doctor sounds ridiculous. Woman doctor would have the same assumption as it also has an opposite in man doctor, which sounds equally as ridiculous unlike male doctor.
Now you could say my doctor is a woman and that makes perfect sense whereas my doctor is a female is ferengi.
What’s wrong with Executrix? That’s a perfectly acceptable, proper word. These days, it’s generally preferred to have a genderless noun like just Actor instead of Actress, but it’s still allowed.

That’s such an American take.

Woman doctor and nan doctor are just gynecologist and andrologist
Isn’t a “nan doctor” a grandgynocologist?
Or a gerontologist.
I only noticed it now and it was a hilarious typo
But only if you look around and then covertly gesture at your genitals while saying it.
I think it would be “Doctrix” in older versions of English.
I tend to drive more when my family goes on trips, while my wife acts as navigatrix.
Then we both cackle while the kids ignore us in the back.
Cool word, it’s fun to put the emphasis on different syllables. I like it on the I.

Executrix is still common when dealing with estates tho?

Yeah, I only discovered the word when I read “doctoress” in a translation I was proofing and knew there was something going on there.
