I think it would actually be fun to have a discussion about headcanon re: gender identity in the Dr Who universe without the dudebros

Like I could buy, in-universe, Time Lords having a fairly stable gender identification across regenerations

It makes more sense anyway than the Doctor radically changing appearance but always looking "white" by modern Earth standards

That said regenerations have always included radically personality changes and the Doctor is at this point old as the universe

He's officially way past the intended "shelf life" of the Time Lord regeneration system

IIRC the Master turning into "Missy" was a more radical than usual personality change that led to Missy becoming a good guy

I can also buy a fanon explanation that the Doctor personally is often afraid of change (Ten being terrified of death was a big deal)

Remember this all started with the First Doctor being canonically his original body that he clung to for untold sons of time

The First was indeed so old that despite being a Time Lord he had aged to the appearance of a frail elderly man

And it's like once he finally bites the bullet and allows himself to die and regenerate into Two, he starts doing it all the time

You could use that as an in-universe explanation for why old school Doctor Who is so sexless compared to the modern show

The First Doctor had lived countless human lifetimes and "danced" countless times (as Nine puts it)

He had a "granddaughter" (Susan) who was probably his great-great-great-etc granddaughter
