It's not that the world isn't ready for a woman in a role LIKE the Doctor, and that's not what Gaiman said.
If the Doctor were to regenerate into a woman it would fundementally change the nature of the show and open a gigantic can of gender worms. Would such a regeneration turn the Doctor into a woman? If so, we'd get uncomfortable gender determinism on top of a fundamental change in the lead charter.
Ok, so maybe they're smart and the Doctor regenerating as female would make him either a trans man or a-gendered or genderqueer or some sort (I'm all for this)? If so, trans issues would need to be treated carefully and delicately, and it's almost impossible to show trans issues on TV without either devolving into a bunch of icky stereotypes and throwaway jokes, or making the whole show a Very Special Message about trans issues.

So I agree with Gaiman, it is not time for the doctor to regenerate as a female bodied person. This has nothing to do with women, and everything to do the fact that I don't need to see a beloved character turn into a derogatory trans stereotype in the name of misguided progressiveness.
