There's nothing wrong with my post. Anyone with any modicum of common 
sense would have asked exactly the same questions that I did.

Just because someone don't agree with your stupid retarded woke views 
doesn't mean that they are wrong or unjustified.

They are not bullshit. They are everyday common sense. The Doctor is a 
MALE character. How the hell do you expect a MALE character, someone who 
thinks, acts, behaves, and live their lives in the manner of a man, to 
be played by a woman? If the Doctor isn't male then how can they be the 
same character?

> Secondly, you hadn't seen Jodie's first episode as the Doctor in

I'd seen the crap that she'd previously appeared in and knew from that 
that she was a week talentless actress unsuitable for the role and I was 
proven right. Jo Martin did a better job at playing the Doctor in 15 
minutes that Whittaker ever did in 3 entire series and a couple of 
specials.

The Doctor is a MALE character. On top of her lack of acting skills, 
stage presence, gravitas, and charisma, the fact that she was a woman 
that was cast to play a MALE character was the biggest factor ruling her 
out for playing the role.

The Timeless Child monster killed off the entire series from the very 
second episode immediately after over 10 million people including myself 
had given Whittaker the chance to prove herself. Without the Timeless 
Child monster both Whittaker and Gatwa could have been endured.

Why should I have supported her? It was a totally stupid gimmick that 
any intelligent writer would have called out immediately.

Whittaker was given a chance and she failed. I am perfectly entitled to 
point out what I thought would lead to that failure even before the 
first episode.

Despite that The Timeless Child monster destroyed the series completely, 
and that happened from the very second episode when the monster was 
first introduced.

People can get over Whittaker, but they can never get over the damage 
done by the monstrosity of the Timeless Child.
