professions and adjectives

[soidisantfille.livejournal.com]

Do adjectives continue to be gendered if they are attached to a profession that is masculine noun, but can be used also for women, as in доктор, проФессор, врач, преподаватель, etc.? For example, is it possible to say "Она хорошая врач." or would it remain "Она хороший врач."?

On a somewhat related note, in the case of писатель, I know there is the feminine form писательница, but I seem to recall being told that most female writers would prefer to be called simply писатель, because писательница is considered derogatory. Is this true?

Tom-technologist and pussy-technologist... Oh boy :)
A pregnant paleontologist. Gosh. In Russian, mightily reminds me of that old country rhyme (I know no better way to describe what частушка is) sung by Valery Zolotukhin:
Хулиган я, хулиган,
Хулиган я временный.
Не скажу, в какой деревне
Есть мужик беременный.

(I'm a hooligan, a hooligan,
A temporary hooligan:
Won't tell you in what willage
there is a pregnant man.)

Частушка is a country comic song :-)
