Dr Who is transgender...

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

According to twitter

Well, surely Dr WHO IS transgender? Dr Who also has two hearts and can travel through time and space though so not really applicable to any other arguments!

Transcending gender is not the same as being transgender though.

Dr who had a male body. And now has a female body.

The Dr is a 1300 year old alien with two hearts and the power to regenerate when dying, who flies through time a space in an alien spacecraft disguised as a 1960's police box. With a screwdriver. Which is sonic.

Not sure how that relates to female penises (penii?).

That Tellytubby that people used to say was gay - obviously trans.

Dr Who isn't real...

My son is friends with the person who composed the music, so really looking forward to this tonight.

Dr who had a male body. And now has a female body.

And transition is the same as regeneration...

According to IW:

Mumsnet, @DailyMail @TheTimes @TheSpectator are all going to catch fire about this. BBC in-doctor-nation. “Telling kids they can change sex” yada yada #DrWho #Mumsnet 🔦 (Closest emoji to a sonic screwdriver) t.co/QIkxbQSTdx

I am pretty sure Dr who is fictional

You are wrong.

I'm glad I don't use twitter. The Doctor is an alien!!

If I were still on Twitter I'd be posting "Seriously? The best you can do to 'prove' your faith is true is cite a science fiction alien who's 900 yrs old and periodically changes body?"

It's ok, India, most MNers know their kids have enough sense to be able to tell fact from fiction. The staff of the Times and the Spectator seem to be generally rational adults who can make that distinction too.

They don't actually believe there's a police box bigger on the inside than the outside, and they don't believe that human beings can regenerate into a different human of a different age or sex , no matter what fictional aliens might do.

Did India never see the lovely 'house hippo' thing?

But I'm sure most Dr Who fans on MN FWR are delighted that after more than half a century at last The Doctor has regenerated as an adult female Gallifreyan!

Doctor Who is trans-terrestrial

Galifreyans can change sex, race and appearent body age each time they die/regenerate. Once The Doctor grew a whole arm back in the regeneration process.

We've also see an old white guy regenerate into a younger black woman. It's a cheap plot leeway to use different actors for the same character.

Has nothing to do with reality.

As a side note that house hippo was adorable!

Jesus, spoiler alert people. That's ruined that episode for me.

Dr Who - two hearts living in just one mind.

I'm just fucking rejoicing in dyspraxia getting a decent mention on telly right now.

Its holding a non-human to human standards (kind of-i know what i mean😅)

Like comparing Dr Who to that fish that can change sex/gender if there arent enough males

Isn’t he 2000+ now?

Dammit, she. Fucking misgendering an alien.

Dr Who tonight said, "Every cell in my body is female." So not a transwoman, then.

Had a stand up row with a whovian ( is that a thing) on why the Doctor could be a woman, he said he couldn't and started frothing.

I think the only people going to be interested, other than if it's a good story, will be men.

I thought it was a gender critical dr who!

She said she can’t run so fast because all this - gestures body. She said she was here to bring ‘fair play to earth’

Great telly.
