The hell you talking about, OP? Unless Thirteen ends up being trans, the only reason people would say they/them would be if they were referring to the Doctors as a whole.

In which case they would have used they/ them anyway even if 13 was male. Because "they" is plural.

Words. They mean things.

You stop that backtalk. Words do NOT mean things! :|

"They" has a long history of being singular. You can definitely refer to the Doctor as a single person over multiple regenerations, too. "Their age is variable according to the writers," "They are a character in a TV series that first aired in 1963."

Not really?

I mean, I guess it's kind of an arguable point but... the Doctor is a single person, not an assemblage of 13 different persons. The Fourth Doctor and the 13th Doctor are actually the same person. That's kind of the point of the show. So you can't be referring to "the Doctors as a whole". The Doctor is not a gestalt entity, the Doctor is the Doctor, a single individual.
