blueboxinbolvangar asked stfu-moffat:

Hello beautiful people! I wanted to know your opinion on the Doctor regenerating as a Time Lady. Do you think it’d be a good idea? Would the dynamics of the show change? Could Moffat handle it without making us want to gouge our eyes out with a spoon? (sadly I seriously doubt it) Do you think there’s a realistic chance it might happen?

I think it would be a fantastic idea! Just not under Moffat’s reign, or anyone that has the same views as him of female characters.

I don’t think the dynamics would change too much as the Doctor would still be the Doctor. He would probably have new issues to face as a woman, depending on the time period he went to and what stigmas they hold. I think it would be interesting to have a traditionally male character encounter such stigmas and see how he combats them. It also would bring up gender and sex issues into the show as well - would the Doctor still be a man even with the new body? Would his mentality change as well? How would he react to the changes?

Judging by how Eleven reacted in the first episode with ‘I’m a girl!’, he wouldn’t be too upset nor surprised by the change. In fact, he seemed almost excited about it, even though he was going off of the fact that he had longer hair and making gender stereotypes. It could be a chance to bring proper trans* and sexist issues into the show, without making them into a joke. I thought it was a shame that they didn’t expand on River as Mels, since she was black during that point of her life. Her experiences would’ve been much different than any experiences she would’ve had if she were white. She spent most of her childhood being ‘the troublemaker’, consistently getting punished for her actions. Would that have happened if she was white during that time? If there is going to be a significant change like this, you can’t ignore real world issues that come with those changes and if the Doctor were ever to regenerate as a woman/female, you would need to bring those issues in as well.

    I want a WOC Doctor. A well-written WOC Doctor would instantly make me the biggest Doctor Who fan I could ever be. Cross...

About

Because some people shouldn't be allowed to have their shit left unquestioned.

Before we get any questions like "If you hate Doctor Who so much you can just stop watching!":

We don't hate DW or Sherlock, in fact we really really like those shows. That is why we're being critical. If we didn't like them, we wouldn't be nearly as annoyed, we'd simply change channels.

Before you send us asks, please read our FAQ
