dolari"You've said you'd like to be the Doctor Who show runner for a few years, how would YOU handle the switch from Peter Capaldi to Jodie Whitaker?"
"There would be so much trans subtext in there."
"But the Doctor isn't trans."
"That's the best part. Here you have someone from a species who occasionally changes bodies and gender...having to deal with (and likely SAVE) a species who not only doesn't understand it, but is usually hostile to that kind of thing. On top of that, so many of her arguments are the ones we've already seen before. Imagine Jodie Whitaker saying David Tennant's lines trying to convince Billie Piper she's the same person...exact same thing as being trans some days."
"I....I like that."
