The canon has always been kind of shaky as to whether the Doctor remains the same person or not across regenerations. If the Doctor is in fact the same person, then regardless of whether he regenerates into a female body, he'd still be a man. Sex is not the same thing as gender.

I hadn't even thought about it like that, but that's a ridiculously good point.

It's also ridiculously easy to handwave, as the doctor is not human and gender/sex could work differently for time lords - especially if they have the ability to regenerate into bodies of both genders.

I think that's a major copout though.

At this point a lot of the 'explanations' on Doctor Who are total copouts, so *shrug*. I don't think a woman doctor will ever happen though, so it's probably moot.

If we were talking novels, I'd agree. On a TV show, with human actors playing the characters, gender and sex are still going to read the way they do for humans, and I think a variation from that would require a lot of explanation.
