Only because the idiot RTD purposely did it to jump on the Politically 
Correct bandagon (as well as appeasing BBC "equality" checklists), so 
he lazily hijacked an existing character rather than actually do 
something creative like make a brand new character.

    RTD Wanted Doctor Who to Move Away from “Very Straight,
    Masculine, and Testosterone-y” Sci-Fi
    Reflecting on his recent work with Doctor Who, showrunner
    Russell T Davies revealed that one of his driving goals
    since taking the reins again was to steer the show away
    from what he called “very straight, very masculine, very
    testosterone-y” science fiction.
