Doctor Who: The 13th Doctor is Jodie Whitaker

I'm afraid my fears, and your fears as seen in my poll have come true. Jodie Whitaker is the Doctor.

I'm not going into a rant because I've done that a lot this afternoon but I do have to let you know that I shed a tear, something I haven't done for Doctor Who purposes since 2010. I am upset as this was done just to cater for the feminist war cryers. Chibnall didn't even bother looking for a man in went straight to the woman. I want see her as the Doctor. The Doctor is an established male character  who has been a man for 54 years of screen and in the universe he has been a man for 2195 years approximately but that discounts the extra 400 years he spent as the war doctor who was also a man.

Do I think this will damage the show?

Yes and no. I think that in the first few episodes and perhaps the first series we will see a rating spike. There will almost definitely be more interest in casual viewers at the beginning. When I say interest I'm not saying there all in favour but I think they'll want to give it a go. I think eventually it will be seen as a either ground-breaking decision or a stupid mistake. Fans who consider the 13th Doctor a woman will look back and think it was the right decision but all current fans may not agree. I know that they are a lot of people who a rubbing their hands with joy over this and others fuming. I am fuming. If this was done to a female character it would be completely shamed.

I think fans will stop buying merchandise, which will damage the show. I think that it will loose a lot of fans for two main reasons. One is the ones who don't like the Doctor being a woman and other boys who don't like to see a female lead, which is a shame, but as the Child Laurette herself said, boys don't like things about girls in fiction.

Will we see a male companion? Quite possibly. I'm less against this because companions are individual people not the same person

In terms of Time Lord biology I wonder what happens if a pregnant female Time Lord regenerates into a man?

Will the Doctor remain heterosexual or continue to like women?

 This is sexist in my opinion. Taking a well established male role model and changing it for the benefit of a few people is ludicrous. It may well succeed and she may be the best Doctor yet but look at other films which recreated male characters with female ones. Ghostbusters? flop. Thor and Iron Man? have you even heard of that?

It was done for two reasons which are stupid
1. Equality for a show that has a strong female lead already
2. Petty rating spike

Imagine if this was done to a well established female character like Catwoman? Uproar! Sexism only seems to go one way....

If you want equality create new female characters like Rey or Jyn. Don't change male characters.

What will happen to the Master. Is he destined to remain a female? Who knows

Clara always seemed to upstage the Doctor on several occasions. If the male companion did that to the Doctor would we sexism rows again. This is is the problem with this. Your'e going to be faced with silly, ignorant feminist tumbler fans.

I'm not saying that it is only feminists who want this because that's not true but it is overwhelmingly them.

Does this mean no.14 will be a man or a woman. If 13 is replaced with a man will that be matched with sexism rows? Probably

Now I have ranted a lot on the Doctor being a woman but what about Jodie Whitaker. Well quite frankly I don't like her either. I mean good actress but one feels that she is the Doctor simply because Olivia Coleman turned down the role

She is 35 which is the 4th youngest actor to play the part. Shame really liked the old Doctor look.

How long will the Doctor be a woman? Who knows but hopefully not for long. I will make sure he remains a he if I ever get anywhere on Doctor Who.

Jodie Whitaker is the Doctor.

:(

13th Doctor is the least liked Doctor of all time before an appearance

47% are against the her. That's a lot.
