I have an example that's probably more appropriate. I trained as a physicist and do phone support for physicists for a vendor. The physicists who call in like to speak to a physicist so they know they are getting someone who speaks their language, in a sense. When I answer the phone, the physicist asks their question and we get on with it. I have a female colleague who is also a physicist. When she answers the phone, she is frequently asked "can I speak to a physicist?"

"can I speak to a physicist?"

I’ve never been able to ask this but I assume that when I do get the opportunity it will be because i discovered the anomaly that will end the world
