Is it just me who
really doesn't want to see a female Doctor?
Nope. I really don't want to see one either. The way it is is just fine.
The idea of Time Lords being at constant risk of changing genders raises more questions about Gallifreyan society than it answers. People've tended to run with the idea that, for whatever reason – the curse of the Pythia, bad luck
et cetera – that female Time Lords were far less numerous than the males; we've only seen a handful of Gallifreyan women in the programme, novels and radio plays, and the imbalance is extremely clear: there appears to be a 4:1 ratio
at least for males to females. How many of the females used to be males? Is the ratio of born females to born males even more unequal? Do most females eventually become males? It doesn't add up that all but one or two Time Lords should be male when now it's come out that they can change genders. This kind of revisionism is the reason Moffat is beginning to ruin the programme for me. It's kind of pandering to the people who are quick to brand it 'sexist' if there isn't a female Doctor, and in some cases it just goes against what was already established in the1970s.
