Jodie Whittaker is the 13th Doctor

Well considering we know absolutely nothing else about her at this stage, not even heard her voice, it's hard to see any feasible reason to 'not be a fan' other than the fact she's female.
Yeah, it's fine to dislike episodes, character, etc. I've had my problems with chunks of Moffat's run, early Capaldi episodes, etc but I was judging it after seeing it. This is just knee-jerking, foot stamping, sexism, judging everything based on the fact she is a she and not a he.
 
I'm not angry.

Nor am I, I find @starsuperion's reaction extremely amusing and closed minded.

But I am pushing back against sexism. I don't see why I should be respectful of a sexist position. I don't see why I should tolerate it.

Indeed, I just can not fathom how one can think this is an acceptable opinion, equality is great, what they are complaining about is inequality which really isn't and not an opinion I can respect.
 
Given that they are the only thing different about this Regeneration from all the rest, it's fair to assume that that's what's bothering people.

Now we don't know for sure that the Doctor ever had testicles or a penis ;) or that the 13th Doctor still won't have some :hugegrin:

I wonder what the first lines of 13 will be?
 
And just to be clear, she could be fantastic in the role or terrible in the role (I haven't seen her in anything other than 'Attack the Block' and 'Black Mirror' to be honest) but her gender won't have anything to do with it either way, no more than Kris Marshall's would if it was him.
 
You're literally throwing a tantrum because a fictional time-traveling alien doesn't have testicles anymore. No, that doesn't have to be respected.

Look, I know you're a moderator, but many of your posts in this thread keep repeating the same line about penises, testicles, cocks, etc. It would seem to me that you are throwing just a big a tantrum as some of the others. Would it be possible to give yourself a warning for spamming? :)

I'm looking forward to a woman Doctor! :techman:

EDIT: OK, You are an Administrator, not Moderator, not sure of the difference.
 
So much for free expression.
Free expression has never meant this. It's never meant you could say whatever without getting challenged by private citizens. It's always meant you could say what you wanted without the government arresting you, which is the case here so...yay founders?

If you're going to use nebulous constitutional ideas to protect your prejudiced ideas then you should at least get them right.

Totally agreed. And I understand exactly why people are getting upset about reactions like starsuperion has. But the way people are talking back.... It's like fighting fire with fire. Hatred with hatred. Sarcastic comments and the like. If you want to change people's point of view, educate them. Don't belittle them.

Starsuperion is a dickhead. But instead of learning about a differen't way of looking at things, people are basicly bashing him down. How will he ever learn to think differently when the people who could educate him are shouting at him? We need dialogue, not fighting.
 
"Tits! I've got tits! I don't like the color."

" … of your tits?"

And Doctor Who shall be forever ruined. :( :( :(

Probably a look in the mirror, followed by, "I'm gonna need a guide book for this..."

After watching the first episode, and all the haters will watch the first episode, cos that's how fans work, they'll all be petitioning Donald Trump to regenerate into a woman!
