So the 13th Doctor was revealed as.....

If there was a female incarnation, you'd think it would have been mentioned at least once since 1963 when the show started. This is incredibly forced and badly done, just to please the political correctness gang.

think it was mentioned in that hand of fear that time lords could change gender js

Time Lords are gender-benders?

I didn't say it's sexist against men mate but you'll read what you want to so never mind. Don't bring the 1/13 argument because that just shows that the character is supposed to be male even if it's never outright said out loud. The alien argument is also bulls**t because we know some traits of the character as preserved after he regenerates and so far being a man is one of them.

The fact remains that the character wasn't changed to a woman because the story needed it to be. It's because they're trying to score brownie points and trying make themselves look super progressive and the whole "yeah, go women in media" thing which is very fake and disingenuous. I'm all for female characters but if you want a female character, write a new story and make a new show. Simply changing male character to female is p**sing on people's intelligence and taking a massive dump on the fans.

There's been a trend in recent years of just flicking a switch and changing male characters to female which is bs. Like I said, if you want female characters then write quite stories for them and I'm sure no one has anything against original female characters e.g. wonder woman.

Has anyone in the BBC not thought that now the Doctor is a woman, she cannot be called a Time Lord and must now be referred to as a Time Lady?

Somehow doesn't have the same chutzpah.

Whatever next - GayLord?

Theresa May is First Lord of the Treasury.

And there are female Lord Mayors.

I'm really excited to see them make their debut, how do you all feel about this announcement?

I'm not too fussed about the new doctor being a woman, the people moaning about "political correctness" are just as bad as the radical feminists saying "about time" etc.

Gender shouldn't really matter at all, I will judge her on her performance in much the same way I would've done if a man had been cast.

Glad to see a Yorkshirewoman being cast though! Jodie was born really not that far from where I live.

Which characters do you think were Mary Sue's? Not saying you're wrong I'm just curious. That was always my problem with Clara.

The BBC social justice agenda strikes again.

Not a fan of Doctor Who but fellow Trekkies accepted and embraced having a female Captain after years of only having male leads and it worked out well Give her a chance

This turned into the ''How dare things change, even for the better'' thread very quickly, didn't it?

She's seemed like a good actor in everything I've seen her in. I'm really looking forward to finding out if she can keep it up. And everybody always criticises the new doctor before they get to know them anyway.

Anyone else find it a little sad how they said "We always intended for the 13th Doctor to be female" and the new Doctor is a self proclaimed feminist?

Not entirely against it but it sounds as though there was some EXTREME gender bias in this decision, almost as though men were excluded from the decision purely because they are men...
