You realize he was just parodying you when you say you aren’t going to engage with insert poster right?
While this is mostly true, I did also mean it.
Also I must admit my understanding of DW is very limited, but HAS it always been a male? I thought it was kinda like a trill. Sure it always HAS been a male, but does it HAVE to be? I mean it’s not like Luke was suddenly a woman in the ST or anything, doesn’t the very gimmick of the series enable the doctor to be a woman sometimes?
There’s been no reason why the Doctor can’t regenerate as a female. There have been references peppered into the show since 2005 (the Ninth Doctor explaining that he might even look like a different species after he regenerates was taken to imply he could change genders, then in 2010 the Eleventh Doctor thought he was a girl until he felt his Adam’s apple, Eleven explicitly said that the Corsair had been a woman in one regeneration in 2011, Missy was revealed to be a female regeneration of the Master in 2014, and we see an on-screen male-to-female regeneration in 2015). It was also considered many times in the 1980s.
Yet it’s “ruining the show” or something now that the Doctor is a female, just because (s)he never has been before.
