A lot of folk were mad as they saw it as a way to make The Doctor a woman eventually by testing the waters.

And considering we're dealing with an alien race not necessarily subject to our rules and preconceptions about this sort of thing, those people can die mad about it. Logically there's no way an alien entity would match Earth ideas about gender almost exactly in the first place. The Doctor has been a man until now because of who created them and their writing being able to conceive of something regenerating its body but a gender switch is apparently TOO FAR. Who can say for sure an alien race would follow our ideas exactly?

Right? I totally agree. It's so confusing to me - the basic premise of the show and the central feature of the Time Lords as a race literally only exists because the actor got too sick to keep acting and so they came up with a hand-wave justification for an actor change. The Time Lords didn't even exist until the sixth season.
