there are several times a day where i want to take people aside and inform them that the doctor isn’t cishet
fun fact: It would be completely impractical for Gallifreyans/Time Lords to have a humanoid gender binary system, since there is every chance of your husband having an accident at work and coming home as your wife. Also, if they weren’t at least mildly genderfluid everyone would have major identity crises upon regenerating as the opposite sex.
Where does it say that Timelords/Gallifreyans would regenerate into a different sex?
the Corsair and the Doctor (twice, actually) have both regenerated into another sex before
it’s also mentioned in Night of the Doctor that this can happen
Also I.M. Foreman in the novel Inference, who has one female incarnation (the seventh, I think) and then a female body which they take over after the end of the regeneration cycle. And from the conversation between I.M. Foreman and the Doctor, it’s made perfectly clear that it happens sometimes. (Yeah, dubious canonicity of novels and all that, but it’s one of the most influential Doctor Who novels ever, and the EDAs were a really important part of keeping Doctor Who going.)
Yes, it’s in Interference: Book One (thank you for pointing that out I completely forgot)
((also all of DWU is dubiously canon because Dr. Who canon doesn’t exist, but i digress))
I.M. Foreman turns up in both volumes of Interference, actually - there’s rather more about the different incarnations in the second volume, The Hour of the Geek. I.M. Foreman’s female incarnation goes under the name of Queen Nitocris, and is incarnation number ten. I.M. Foreman’s incarnations not only end up as different genders but also different species, because of DNA that’s been absorbed throughout the incarnations. Queen Nitocris, whose show-name is 'Mistress of Serpents’ is described as “frankly a lot more snakey than I think any of us intended”. (p. 221) And then there's The If, who is… undefinable in more than one way. The If is essentially an intelligent machine (possibly influenced by TARDIS technology), which I.M. Foreman himself (in incarnation no. 1) refers to as ‘him or her or it’, but The If is still an incarnation, despite not being particularly organic.
(I am a firm believer in there not being a Doctor Who canon, but I didn’t really feel like going into it. I felt I had to say something, though, as some people don’t like to count the novels. Their loss…)
