I kinda like the forms being conspicuously gendered. Because it makes more of a point when the conspicuous gender isn't some kind of hinge point of the Doctor's personality. It happens to be a female body this time, and that directly affects... not much, which proves it doesn't really matter what the outsides happen to be. Whereas being in an ambiguous/androgynous form all the time can't make that point.

IDK, imo having 13 be a woman makes a stronger point that the Doctor doesn't regard gender the same way as most humans would, and isn't influenced by it the same way as we would be. What we regard as something intrinsically meaningful is just a change of clothes to an alien

>the Doctor doesn't regard gender the same way as most humans would

Yeah, there were a couple of cute gags about that in the first eppy. It also pointed out that the way we perceive of gender as a society seem to be changing as well.
