For the hard of thinking, the DOCTOR can’t be a woman unless he chooses to change gender, which is unlikely. However, there are female Time Lords; the Doctor has a daughter, and a Granddaughter, Susan, plus Romala was a Time Lord. I just don’t see how the Doctor could become a woman and fit the continuity of forty-plus years of the series. Sorry to all the sexism conspirasists out there, but it ain’t gonna happen. I would like to see Susan appear in the series, tho’, I had a case of the hots for the actress who played her in the first series with William Hartnell.
