@@SpeedyOwlor when you're some kind of nonbinary or agender and forget your sex and get confused, when people gender you according to your assigned gender at birth. This is a perfect 13th Doctor "I am a woman?!" moment.
I have this lil theory/Headcanon that The Doctor was probably trans during their other incarnation specifically the "first" one because that would explain some quotes like "I played Omega at the academy... Well the girl version of Omega", "it's been I while since I borrowed women's clothes" or Missy's "since he was a little girl" and why they keep unconsciously having masculine incarnation even when those incarnations are non binary like 10, they're so used to be masculine because of their first incarnation being trans that they're a bit lost when they're finally a woman again.
Fun fact! In a few of the Eighth Doctor's books - he blatantly denies being a cisgender man and that he "was not a man"! Also in some books also implied that he was more than friends with a couple of his male friends - including Alan Turing ;)
oh nice! there were a couple of third doctor clips too which i couldn't include where he says he's "not a chap" and implies he's not a man. it's cool that there's so much expanded media backing for it too!

3:51 It’s good to know, assuming she isn’t referring to her to begin with, that River would still be in love with 13 if they had an episode together (I don’t think they do iirc)
Sadly no, unless she pops up in the BBC Centenary Special. Though Whittaker has already done audio, so it probably won't be long before she joins Big Finish.
Rewatching the series I noticed how much they've been foreshadowing this before we actually saw it the first time with Missy. It's nice to see how casual it is to time lords, and it's nice that there's a BBC IP that's actually affirming considering the transphobic fit the BBC has been going on. And now I really wanna see The Corsair appear some time!
Frances de la Tour was seriously considered to play the 8th Doctor after someone else were to have a brief stint as 7, but they nixed it as the show wasn't too stable at the time and they kinda had to play it save, I think the 14/15 situation is basically the same idea but actually done
Love this video! It's like when Thirteen was announced as a *gasp* woman and all those people said but they're Time Lords not Time Ladies, forgetting that Time Lord is a Species and we'd already met a Female Time Lord being Romana back in 1978 who was a Companion to the Fourth Doctor. Over the last twenty years or more the Big Finish Audios have had Time Lords of male and female, plus Time Lords who Don't have human appearance. Gender is fascinating ❤️
@@oneandonly3924 I think you mean Sex.... 😉 Gender is a social concept, that's the official definition of the UK government on their website. Centuries ago men wore the high heels (seriously) and this was accepted and Expected by the male gender... Today its switched to the female gender who is expected to wear the high heels. That's a very basic explanation, but gender is Not genitalia related, that's the sex of the person. Remember that blue was for girls at the beginning of the 20th century and pink for boys, now it's the other way around. Social constructs are fascinating to study 😊
I’m sad there’s nothing about that time River was on the Tardis three times at once and 11 mentioned that he would have worn a dress but he thought it didn’t really suit him

@@gonzbergtvbut what you doing in this video though ? By a gender fluid person? Ugh just coming to shit stir . So ornery. The rest of us are having an enjoyable time with this vid thanks.
Anyone else find it annoying that the doctor doesn’t instantly recognise Missy, especially since he says in The Sound of Drums (to Martha and Jack) that “time lords always know”.
Maybe the odd circumstances of his new regeneration gave him a bit of a memory blur and he was too distracted at the time to pick up on the Time Lady signal?
The Master is a master of disguise. In the revival series alone the master hid as a human to avoid dying in the time war, became the Prime Minister without The Doctor noticing, became Rasputin and disguised himself as "Razor" and "Agent O." It's safe to say The Master figured out how to hide his identity from other time lords.
When I first saw trailers with Bill in, I wasn't sure I was going to like her. Then I saw her in her first episode and went, "Yeah, she's going to be just fine." I'm not talking about her gender or orientation, but the fact that she's very smart, and for all that she's a dinner lady, she can see things as clearly, if not clearer, than the Doctor himself.
You know, there's a room on the Tardis built specifically for them to regenerate in. The Zero Room. Why, in universe, do they never use it? Obviously not every doctor has time but 11 certainly did. As did War! I wish I'd never learned about that room bc now when each Doctor regenerates I'll be stuck thinking about it.
Because the 5th Doctor’s post regeneration recovery was a special case. The 4th Doctor’s synapses were open when he regenerated, meaning that the 5th Doctor’s was left overwhelmed by his heightened senses, so he needed the zero room to cut himself off from interference.
The Tardis also refurbs itself every so often, so it's entirely possible that that room doesn't exist anymore or has been archived or moved somewhere the doctor can't find it.
@@hannahk1306 The Zero Room in the Doctor's TARDIS was jettisoned at end of _Castrovalva_ in order to create enough power to escape Event One. Although it has been reinstated and reappeared in various novels, comics and audios, it has never popped up again on TV.
I'm rewatching 13th since the beginning (I'm back at Spyfall 2) because I kinda stopped watching for while, and we just heard about Ncuti being the next Doctor, so I'm trying to catch up before she's gone. And I've always watched DW in english with subtitles, and then a episode of season 11 wasn't working on a couple sites (yes, I'm a pirate), so I watched it dubbed to Brazilian Portuguese, and had the most delightful surprise when I heard the companions uses she/her pronouns for her, but they call her "O Doutor" in the masculine form instead of "A Doutora" in the feminine form, because, you know, "The Doctor" is her name, and in portuguese always been O Doutor, that's their name. Always has been. And didn't change because her body did. And I think that's absolutely fantastic :D
I feel the same way. I didn’t realize there was that much cannon. I honestly only watched Eccleston and a little bit of other episodes here and there. I only discovered my own gender fluidity when I decided to focus on me rather than putting my needs after other needs.
Wait what if the doctor regenerates into a baby? What would the companions do then? What if they’re alone when they’re regenerating? Or worse crashing?
Okay, if the Doctor _does_ regenerate into a child, that would be the most hillarious thing. It'll be like Number Five from Umbrella Academy but british
My minor understanding is that Time Lords tend to be adults from their point of view. You tend to regenerate into an adult (the Doctor has never been anything other than an adult and the Madter don't seem to have ever taken the appearance of a child when regenerated) or at least someone who can communicate with your surroundings if you include that a lot of time Lords seem a bit immature
@@JDM-is-my-name there has been a child master in the comics for the early stages of The Time War but they were still very much The Master you've come to expect mentally
@@stephenocalla3708 could that have been their first generation? If I remember correctly (and please be aware I may be misremembering) we also saw the Doctor as a child, but that was before the Time Lords went kind of extinct
@I_hate_me The reason the master was a child in the time war was because he'd run out of regeneration, and the time lords restarted him with a whole knew cycle. He kept his memories, but his form, a new first, was made to appear as a child, I think on purpose. I suspect it may be tradition on Gallifrey
It was never outright confirmed or denied in the Classic Era. Famously, Troughton said in an interview back in the 80s that there was no limit on what regeneration could do.
"We're billion years before your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes." That's a very beautiful line I will now be using to throw at conservatives and transphobes
Personally I'd have cut straight from 13 saying "I've had an upgrade" to this one: DALEK: You are a Time Lord? MISSY: Time Lady, thank you. Some of us can afford the upgrade.
@astra6031 Which is why I am puzzled as to why they've wasted a regeneration on a female Doctor when Romana is still around. I'm sure Lalla Ward would have come back to regenerate into another skin. She is a female Time Lady to those who are clueless. She IS the female "Doctor" in a way. And The Rani too. I cannot accept Missy as a regeneration of the Master when she behaved exactly like The Rani.
I mean, it makes sense. The Doctor can change anything about their body, it would be highly illogical if the only thing they can't change is their sex.
Idk if it's just me, but the the very first ep of New Who, I'm sure 9 made a reference being a lady or wanting to be a lady. It's during the scene where 9 enters Rose's house around when 9 made a comment about his ears.
I mean Who now is more progressive and poorly written Take the second season of the 13th doctor, Chibnal could have done a better job and he made the scariest villain into meh.
Doctor has always been able to change between the two, but the writing is what makes it bad. I think if they could've done it without acting like it was some giant thing, and without shoving the message down the audience's throat nearly every episode, people would've taken it better
@@samuelmerkel2888 It is really obnoxious having people call people out as racist, sexist etc... for giving actual criticism because one way or another someone with green buzzed hair and smelly armpits is going to take offense. The Doctor has one way or another been a pacifist and the only time he's shown prejudgeice is the daleks and for obvious reasons. Freema Agyeman was the first black companion and her character had conflict with the 10th doctor yet found a way to overcome, she literally helped save the world by turning the doctor into a god. Or take Sarah Jane and how she had her own show, her companions were diverse in race and gender yet they all bounced off each other and weren't perfect characters with no flaws. I can go on with the diversity with WHo and why the whole thing with Jodie Whitaker and the progressive nature of the show are unrelated with the downfall. Its down to the writing and whenever its about sending a message or not is irrelivant if its executed poorly.
I know it can't be included bc it doesn't have dialogue/voice acting but the 13th Doctor actually met the Corsair when they were in a female regeneration in the comics
The thing that I hate is that people say the Doctor can only be a white straight man. First of all, Time Lords don’t have definitive sexualities, because, since regeneration is random, they can’t be only into men or women if they’re partner or spouse is the same gender as them, meaning they can’t be straight or have conventional thoughts about gender because it’s fluid. Second of all, as pointed above, regeneration is random, meaning they can be a woman, a man, while, black, yellow etc. The Doctor doesn’t need to be played only by while men. I understand this is controversial to older audience members because, in the 60s, a woman leading a show would have been very controversial, but it’s 2024, women can do anything they want, including being the Doctor
If I had a nickel for every time David Tennant played a gender fluid, non-human, functionally immoral character who got their heart broken by a blond... I'd have two nickels
My favourite Doctor Who gender thing is in ‘Kinda’ from Classic Who and ‘Time in Office’ from the Big Finish audios. I just love it so much. I really should have seen that I was trans sooner…
I realised I should I have elaborated. In ‘Kinda’ there is a box that no man can touch without factory reseting his brain. The Doctor touches this box and suffers no ill effects. The elder says that the Doctor is either “not a man or is an idiot”
@@jam-the-hologram yes i love that line!! i wish classic who was easier to download because there were quite a few scenes i wanted to include. us trans people just get attracted to doctor who don't we lol
The bit is ‘Time in Office’ is admittedly much smaller. The story is set on Gallifrey where the Time Lords are making five make good on his promise to become the Lord President of Gallifrey. A (time lord) reporter is chatting to a time lady architect (i think??? it’s been awhile) and she accuses him of being sexiest and he refutes that by saying that his last couple regenerations were women. I like it because it was so casual

@@Williamfp like when you're in the closet about your gender for most people or everyone, when you're talking to someone who knows your actual pronouns or even just to yourself, you can refer to yourself the wrong way just out of habit because you normally have to be so careful to refer yourself that way infront of everyone else and have done for such a long time.
@@SpeedyOwlor when you're some kind of nonbinary or agender and forget your sex and get confused, when people gender you according to your assigned gender at birth. This is a perfect 13th Doctor "I am a woman?!" moment.
The doctor miss gendering her self Constantly is a adorable
2000 years using he/him, she's allowed a few slip ups.
she just like me fr
I have this lil theory/Headcanon that The Doctor was probably trans during their other incarnation specifically the "first" one because that would explain some quotes like "I played Omega at the academy... Well the girl version of Omega", "it's been I while since I borrowed women's clothes" or Missy's "since he was a little girl" and why they keep unconsciously having masculine incarnation even when those incarnations are non binary like 10, they're so used to be masculine because of their first incarnation being trans that they're a bit lost when they're finally a woman again.
Fun fact! In a few of the Eighth Doctor's books - he blatantly denies being a cisgender man and that he "was not a man"!
Also in some books also implied that he was more than friends with a couple of his male friends - including Alan Turing ;)
oh nice! there were a couple of third doctor clips too which i couldn't include where he says he's "not a chap" and implies he's not a man. it's cool that there's so much expanded media backing for it too!

Rewatching the series I noticed how much they've been foreshadowing this before we actually saw it the first time with Missy.
It's nice to see how casual it is to time lords, and it's nice that there's a BBC IP that's actually affirming considering the transphobic fit the BBC has been going on.
And now I really wanna see The Corsair appear some time!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t forget the Corsair 😂
Corsair was killed. We saw his arm used by the Aunt in that episode.
She's been in the Titan for 13.
Frances de la Tour was seriously considered to play the 8th Doctor after someone else were to have a brief stint as 7, but they nixed it as the show wasn't too stable at the time and they kinda had to play it save, I think the 14/15 situation is basically the same idea but actually done
@@emircan457 I mean, the doctor regrew a hand.
Love this video! It's like when Thirteen was announced as a *gasp* woman and all those people said but they're Time Lords not Time Ladies, forgetting that Time Lord is a Species and we'd already met a Female Time Lord being Romana back in 1978 who was a Companion to the Fourth Doctor. Over the last twenty years or more the Big Finish Audios have had Time Lords of male and female, plus Time Lords who Don't have human appearance. Gender is fascinating ❤️
@@tommykirk3403 dont they have the loom thing? idk im not very informed about gallifreyan lore
Time Lords aren’t a species, it’s a rank in the hierarchy of Gallifreyan society
Not to mention Missy
Too bad humans can only be one gender from the day they’re born
@@oneandonly3924 I think you mean Sex.... 😉 Gender is a social concept, that's the official definition of the UK government on their website.
Centuries ago men wore the high heels (seriously) and this was accepted and Expected by the male gender... Today its switched to the female gender who is expected to wear the high heels. That's a very basic explanation, but gender is Not genitalia related, that's the sex of the person. Remember that blue was for girls at the beginning of the 20th century and pink for boys, now it's the other way around. Social constructs are fascinating to study 😊
I’m sad there’s nothing about that time River was on the Tardis three times at once and 11 mentioned that he would have worn a dress but he thought it didn’t really suit him

2:06 DAVID YOUR CROWLEY IS SHOWING
Anyone else find it annoying that the doctor doesn’t instantly recognise Missy, especially since he says in The Sound of Drums (to Martha and Jack) that “time lords always know”.
Maybe the odd circumstances of his new regeneration gave him a bit of a memory blur and he was too distracted at the time to pick up on the Time Lady signal?
The Master is a master of disguise. In the revival series alone the master hid as a human to avoid dying in the time war, became the Prime Minister without The Doctor noticing, became Rasputin and disguised himself as "Razor" and "Agent O." It's safe to say The Master figured out how to hide his identity from other time lords.
Recognition or not, it should have been obvious! I mean, Missy? Really?
The Doctor never recognised Anthony Ainley’s Master under his various disguises, so technically the Sound of Drums scene is the outlier here.
When I first saw trailers with Bill in, I wasn't sure I was going to like her. Then I saw her in her first episode and went, "Yeah, she's going to be just fine." I'm not talking about her gender or orientation, but the fact that she's very smart, and for all that she's a dinner lady, she can see things as clearly, if not clearer, than the Doctor himself.
I was exactly the same way! Ended up loving the character snd rather disappointed with her shock method of departure.
"Just us girls"😆
2:04 I completely forgot about this one
You know, there's a room on the Tardis built specifically for them to regenerate in. The Zero Room. Why, in universe, do they never use it? Obviously not every doctor has time but 11 certainly did. As did War! I wish I'd never learned about that room bc now when each Doctor regenerates I'll be stuck thinking about it.
Because the 5th Doctor’s post regeneration recovery was a special case. The 4th Doctor’s synapses were open when he regenerated, meaning that the 5th Doctor’s was left overwhelmed by his heightened senses, so he needed the zero room to cut himself off from interference.
The Tardis also refurbs itself every so often, so it's entirely possible that that room doesn't exist anymore or has been archived or moved somewhere the doctor can't find it.
@@hannahk1306 The Zero Room in the Doctor's TARDIS was jettisoned at end of _Castrovalva_ in order to create enough power to escape Event One.
Although it has been reinstated and reappeared in various novels, comics and audios, it has never popped up again on TV.
I head canon that the doctor doesn’t use anything about the tardis right
I'm rewatching 13th since the beginning (I'm back at Spyfall 2) because I kinda stopped watching for while, and we just heard about Ncuti being the next Doctor, so I'm trying to catch up before she's gone. And I've always watched DW in english with subtitles, and then a episode of season 11 wasn't working on a couple sites (yes, I'm a pirate), so I watched it dubbed to Brazilian Portuguese, and had the most delightful surprise when I heard the companions uses she/her pronouns for her, but they call her "O Doutor" in the masculine form instead of "A Doutora" in the feminine form, because, you know, "The Doctor" is her name, and in portuguese always been O Doutor, that's their name. Always has been. And didn't change because her body did.
And I think that's absolutely fantastic :D
thats brilliant! i love hearing stuff like that
me parece una falta de respeto de que no hayas mencionado la página pirata por la que ves doctor who pasa el link carnal
Some dubs change to a doutora some don't both are right because The doctor is the name but here get translated to male and female form

@@User-mj6ox why would you need to be trans to be friends with a trans person..?
I feel the same way. I didn’t realize there was that much cannon. I honestly only watched Eccleston and a little bit of other episodes here and there. I only discovered my own gender fluidity when I decided to focus on me rather than putting my needs after other needs.
3:04 sums up the 11th doctor so well, he says some nonsense, waves his hands around, then shouts as something explodes
Me every time an anti-woke TH-camr kicks off about Donna’s daughter being trans:
well you can certainly add more to this video with the specials now lol
You can tell how rare being a women is for the doctor even if its a completely different personality
It's the UPGRADE for me 😩👌🏽
Wait what if the doctor regenerates into a baby? What would the companions do then? What if they’re alone when they’re regenerating? Or worse crashing?
Okay, if the Doctor _does_ regenerate into a child, that would be the most hillarious thing. It'll be like Number Five from Umbrella Academy but british
My minor understanding is that Time Lords tend to be adults from their point of view. You tend to regenerate into an adult (the Doctor has never been anything other than an adult and the Madter don't seem to have ever taken the appearance of a child when regenerated) or at least someone who can communicate with your surroundings if you include that a lot of time Lords seem a bit immature
@@JDM-is-my-name there has been a child master in the comics for the early stages of The Time War but they were still very much The Master you've come to expect mentally
@@stephenocalla3708 could that have been their first generation? If I remember correctly (and please be aware I may be misremembering) we also saw the Doctor as a child, but that was before the Time Lords went kind of extinct
@I_hate_me The reason the master was a child in the time war was because he'd run out of regeneration, and the time lords restarted him with a whole knew cycle. He kept his memories, but his form, a new first, was made to appear as a child, I think on purpose. I suspect it may be tradition on Gallifrey
OH MY GOD ITS WIBBLEY WOBBLEY GENDY BENDY stuff
I don’t think anything in canon ever said the Timelords COULDN’T change gender from Regeneration, so it’s always been possible :3
It was never outright confirmed or denied in the Classic Era. Famously, Troughton said in an interview back in the 80s that there was no limit on what regeneration could do.
Jodie Whittaker my beloved
she ✨💖
All hail our trans-icon
"We're billion years before your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes."
That's a very beautiful line I will now be using to throw at conservatives and transphobes
But they still called themselves Time Lords.
"The Doctor..is a MAN"
Doctor: "I've had an upgrade, hi"
Me: PFFFFT LMAO you slay queen
Casual misogyny.
The Doctor wears a suit so well, no matter where they are on the gender spectrum.
"she means thatcher"
lol
oh god please can the comment section not be awful
For real
For real
Personally I'd have cut straight from 13 saying "I've had an upgrade" to this one:
DALEK: You are a Time Lord?
MISSY: Time Lady, thank you. Some of us can afford the upgrade.
thanks for explaining the PM joke there. Being an Aussie, didn't know which UK PM was worst 😂😂
4:32 I thought the doctor could choose some parts like how he made 12 resemble the man they saved in Pompeii.
They can but it's a subconscious choice. It took a long time for Twelve to realize why he had that face.
@@fyraltari1889 ohhhhhh
That's the point. The "potion" is lemonade and dry ice. The Eighth Doctor drank it thinking he'd become a warrior, and so a warrior he became.
I miss Romana.
me too, every single day
@astra6031 Which is why I am puzzled as to why they've wasted a regeneration on a female Doctor when Romana is still around. I'm sure Lalla Ward would have come back to regenerate into another skin. She is a female Time Lady to those who are clueless. She IS the female "Doctor" in a way. And The Rani too. I cannot accept Missy as a regeneration of the Master when she behaved exactly like The Rani.
@@OceanbornAngel That implies Romana only exists to be a female Doctor, which is in no way the case.
yeah why does she have eyeshadow on she just came into existence geez
Now dear you need to made an upgrade version with half of The Star beast lmao 😂
love 13 as a character ngl, wish the episodes were better to watch
I mean, it makes sense. The Doctor can change anything about their body, it would be highly illogical if the only thing they can't change is their sex.
We can all agree that the time lords are something other than the gender binary
Most of these are from Capaldi’s last few and 13’s first few.
And?

Good now do it in silence
I wish the sub count and like count were swapped for you
Idk if it's just me, but the the very first ep of New Who, I'm sure 9 made a reference being a lady or wanting to be a lady. It's during the scene where 9 enters Rose's house around when 9 made a comment about his ears.
He doesn’t
i.e. 13 misgendering herself for 5 and a half minutes
she tries her best
my very homophobic dad is only now complaining about woke stuff even though the doctor has always been like this.
I mean Who now is more progressive and poorly written
Take the second season of the 13th doctor, Chibnal could have done a better job and he made the scariest villain into meh.
Doctor has always been able to change between the two, but the writing is what makes it bad. I think if they could've done it without acting like it was some giant thing, and without shoving the message down the audience's throat nearly every episode, people would've taken it better
@@samuelmerkel2888 It is really obnoxious having people call people out as racist, sexist etc... for giving actual criticism because one way or another someone with green buzzed hair and smelly armpits is going to take offense.
The Doctor has one way or another been a pacifist and the only time he's shown prejudgeice is the daleks and for obvious reasons. Freema Agyeman was the first black companion and her character had conflict with the 10th doctor yet found a way to overcome, she literally helped save the world by turning the doctor into a god.
Or take Sarah Jane and how she had her own show, her companions were diverse in race and gender yet they all bounced off each other and weren't perfect characters with no flaws.
I can go on with the diversity with WHo and why the whole thing with Jodie Whitaker and the progressive nature of the show are unrelated with the downfall. Its down to the writing and whenever its about sending a message or not is irrelivant if its executed poorly.
I know it can't be included bc it doesn't have dialogue/voice acting but the 13th Doctor actually met the Corsair when they were in a female regeneration in the comics
Who's is here that the 10th is your favorite doctor?
THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS CHARACTER
you're most welcome, i hope you enjoy the best fictional character to ever exist
The Doctor is also ace btw (and some incarnation are ace-aro, some gay, some bi, some pan ect)
2:30 this is actually so iconic wtf??
3:31 nice voice crack there Matt
This video would probably be double its length if it was released after Ncuti's first series.
The thing that I hate is that people say the Doctor can only be a white straight man. First of all, Time Lords don’t have definitive sexualities, because, since regeneration is random, they can’t be only into men or women if they’re partner or spouse is the same gender as them, meaning they can’t be straight or have conventional thoughts about gender because it’s fluid. Second of all, as pointed above, regeneration is random, meaning they can be a woman, a man, while, black, yellow etc. The Doctor doesn’t need to be played only by while men. I understand this is controversial to older audience members because, in the 60s, a woman leading a show would have been very controversial, but it’s 2024, women can do anything they want, including being the Doctor
The lady doctor is funny.

1:31 i need to see that episode
My favourite Doctor Who gender thing is in ‘Kinda’ from Classic Who and ‘Time in Office’ from the Big Finish audios. I just love it so much. I really should have seen that I was trans sooner…
I realised I should I have elaborated. In ‘Kinda’ there is a box that no man can touch without factory reseting his brain. The Doctor touches this box and suffers no ill effects. The elder says that the Doctor is either “not a man or is an idiot”
@@jam-the-hologram yes i love that line!! i wish classic who was easier to download because there were quite a few scenes i wanted to include. us trans people just get attracted to doctor who don't we lol
The bit is ‘Time in Office’ is admittedly much smaller. The story is set on Gallifrey where the Time Lords are making five make good on his promise to become the Lord President of Gallifrey. A (time lord) reporter is chatting to a time lady architect (i think??? it’s been awhile) and she accuses him of being sexiest and he refutes that by saying that his last couple regenerations were women. I like it because it was so casual
"Are you a boy or a girl?"
"I'm an idiot"
To paraphrase, my memory is imprecise:
"One thing you have to remember about me - I am definitely an idiot with a box."
The ‘Every time!’ Was hilarious
“hair....IM A GiRL” always gets me
