how old fans may of been more accepting of a female Doctor would of worked better for me.


If the Male Doctor still existed and the new female doctor is from an alt reality where she was always female every regeneration was a woman Two Doctors and yet the same doctor maybe she had the same adventures too only difference Gender swaps male Riversong she could of been on her first life still could even have alt stories with Peter Capaldi still if they wanted to do that I would of been happier and felt she was the same doctor yet different

Yeah maybe that idea could work for a season or two with two Doctors bouncing off each other and sharing adventures!

As someone who grew up watching Tom Baker as the Doctor in the 70's I'd be fine with a female Doctor if it was part of the canon of Classic Who, but Timelords changing gender was only introduced recently in the Doctor’s long history, just to appease liberals who could then virtue signal about it on social media rather than post about enjoying good sci-fi stories.

Thoughts and prayers.

Yeah I watched Classic Who first and felt if Timelords could be Male or female it should of mentioned earlier maybe even during the TV movie not during the Reboot/Revival.

That would have been interesting.Could've even had crossover episodes where the doctor interacts with his alt reality female counterpart.I would have kept watching for that.There are many creative ways they could have gone about building a show around a female Timelord.But They weren't looking to be creative.They were looking to be political.And it killed the show for me.
