Hi,

Is my reasoning correct regarding article usage: Every person has a gender identity. (article required). I won't believe in something as divisive as gender identity. (no article).

2) As a PhD in astrophysics, I disagree. (or would it be better to say 'as a PhD specializing in astrophysics? Also, is it PhD or Ph.D.?, the dictionary gives both!)

Thanks in advance.
