    I know this is a dumb Q, but is there something in #DoctorWho lore that prevents a woman from being the doctor? Would that ever happen?

        @avantgame Just the opposite- the lore specifically says it happens and it's possible. Hopefully some day!

        @avantgame nothing to prevent it, and lines to suggest it is entirely possible that timelords can change sex.

        @avantgame No the door was explicitly opened in Doctor's Wife. And Moffat as acknowledged it as a possibility in the special that aired 2day

        @avantgame @brammichielsen Doubt it, 11th Doctor started with thinking he was a girl due to 'longer' hair. So the chance is probably there.

        @avantgame As far as I remember, there is a Time Lord who actually regenerated into a Time Lady. The Corsair, If I'm not mistaken.
