Comments

[nightscale]

Ah, the change comment was more me thinking about the in-universe logistics of regeneration and figuring that skin-tone change would be easier than changing sex? But it's also weird alien-biology so I'm probably just over-thinking that.

It's more that I'm surprised that New-Who hadn't gone for a non-white male before this point because he'd still be a guy if you get me? Like I figured it'd be easier to sell that before a lady.

But It's a nice step forward either way

(And I've liked how inclusive they've been with the supporting cast in recent years too, it's good).

Okay, that's fair, in that for humans a sex-swap would involve more genetic change than a race-swap. But yeah, this is weird alien biology we're talking about.

(And sex-swap can be a natural phenomenon in the biology of other organisms. See: clownfish.)

We've seen one previous cross-gender regeneration (the Master), one cross-race (Mels), and one that was cross-race and cross-gender at the same time (the Corsair). None of them were presented as harder, more complicated, or more unusual for the characters involved. I think it's safe to say it's not supposed to make a difference in-universe.
