(Anonymous) 2023-04-22 08:16 am (UTC)(link)So I was correct in assuming moffat did no transgender character. (Maybe some minor inconsequential one?)

(Anonymous) 2023-04-22 09:19 am (UTC)(link)I am thinking that it could be interesting if Time erhm person had gender preferences despite having male/female regeneration sycle. For example Doctor using he/him even in the latest body.

(Anonymous) 2023-04-22 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)Oh, yeah, that's actually how I always envisioned the Doctor: using he/him even when regenerating in what we humans perceive as a female body. It's probably because I alwasy perceived him as heavily influenced my male gender norms.
I've been in this fandom for A WHILE, and that's always been my headcanon.
The Master though, I always thought of them as genderfluid and changing their pronouns accordingly with their gender presentation.
I loved Missy as the Master, but hated that they changed the title from "Master" to "Mistress", though. IDEK for me Master is like the perfect genderneutral title. They should've called her the Master as the offical name and Missy as her preferred casual name. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL!
I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT!!! And you're right, we maybe should call them Timepeople!

(Anonymous) 2023-04-22 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)I am not alone in overthinking DW gender situation.
A lot of people in my parts of the fandom headcanon Doctor nb, this seems wrong to me. He seems A Guy to me. Master on the other hand is absolutely into genderfuckery. Missy thing was annoying in this unique Moffatt style of falling just a bit flat.
I've always thought that Timelord/lady is unnecessary gendered. Especially for a race that is fluid in all sort of ways. Guh

(Anonymous) 2023-04-22 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)Missy is a strange subject for me. On one hand, I LOVE HER (I'm totally biased, I have a crush on the actress lol). Fantastic Master in how she tries (and fails lol) to manipulate people. I liked that her character was closer to Ainley!Master than Simm!Master. She had a few great episode and I was kind of liking her "redemption" arc. It was confusing and kind of fucked up. It had all the right elements to be one of the best Masters' story arcs, BUT
DAMN
THE "WOMAN" STUFF. SO FUCKING ANNOYINGGGG. What a waste of endless good genderfuckery material! And a lot of jokes on that were not good at all ;_; maybe they were funny to the general public, but to me, a genderqueer person myself, they were flat as hell.
Moffat did way worse with a lot of other female characters (cough River Song cough), but he could've done so much better.
BTW I love to think about Missy and the Rani meeting each other and debating on who is the better Queen between them. I've wasted a lot of time imagining this scenario. To me it's the Rani.
