Damn, those tweets now make me wish for Tilda Swinton.
Hell she could play both male and female Doctors. Or male Master and female Doctor.

I can't believe Roger Federer is the new Doctor Who.

I did not recognize the name, but she was in Attack the Block, so I'm sold.
Looks like Rory is a little surprised, but accepting:

I wonder if any have tried rationalizing it... "I guess it's okay if she's a lesbian, that's hot. But then, I'd be getting a boner over the Doctor, and he's an old dude. NoooOOooOOO, my heterosexuality!"
HOLY SHIT, YES. I'm all in for this.
Also, we should collect the tears of all the raging fanboys. We could rehydrate the Sahara.

And a throwaway line in The Doctor's Wife regarding one of the Time Lords mentioned.
Look, you guys don't understand.
The 2,000 year old alien time traveller with two hearts and speaks Baby and Dinosaur can't be female! It's unrealistic!

Which will lose viewers? Doesn't add up, unless you're implying that the morons raging about this will still watch the show anyway.
I've seen more people talking about Doctor Who today than I have in years. Stunt or not, people are gonna tune in to see this.
More about how the BBC wants to continue to grow their audience by doing something...different.

Right, but you didn't say gaining, you said not losing, so it was unclear.
I'm a bit disappointed she's not ginger. I think it would have been funny if the first thing she said post-regeneration is "Yay! I'm finally ginger!" with no mention of being female. (With the extra layer of meaning that regenerating as the opposite sex is no big deal for Time Lords.)
Endlessly-shifting goal posts--not just for meninists.
If she were from the West Indies or India, the rant would be that she wasn't trans.
Did River ever meet Capaldi? I stopped watching when he took over, I was just a bit burnt out, but I thought the River storyline was over.
Not saying they couldn't wibbly wobbly a way for hey back into the timeline.
The Husbands of River Song was arguably one of the best Capaldi episodes. And honestly should've been Moffat's last episode because it would've been a great coda for his run.
Plus, it gave us this great moment:
The way I wrote in my head is still close to that, right after regenerating she should look at herself and say something like "Wow, now this is weird...I haven't been blonde in ages!" (which is true, the last blonde Doctor was 6). No mention whatsoever of the gender change itself.
That's one thing someone on Twitter pointed out: they whole thing is ruined if they CONSTANTLY point out the fact that The Doctor is a woman now. Like a Dalek says, "The Doctor is a FE-MALE?"
