The vast overwhelming majority of the public were not interested in that 
and didn't want this shit shovelled down their throats. Donald Trump's 
election as US President proves that people have had enough of 
nonsensical woke garbage the goes against basic common sense.

It was totally unbelievable. What happens to the unborn child if she 
gets pregnant and is forced to regenerate into a man again? It's totally 
stupid to go pandering to a minority of woke degenerates.

The why didn't they cast her to play the Rani after all the Rani was 
created to be a female version of the Master, instead of insulting the 
intelligence of the majority of the audience and driving them away.

The was never any precedent for a gender swapping Time Lord for over 50 
years and it should have stayed that way.
