I really don't care either way. I don't think it'd be horrible to turn him female, they pulled it off well with Missy and I have to admit I LOVED that they didn't have any of the "oh, now I am female, let's go on about it" stuff. She's just a woman now and that's that. On with the show! That'd be cool to see with the Doctor too. Something about the change just not being a huge deal. And I do think Missy is foreshadowing or testing the waters somehow.
But I do think a lot of the people who actively want a female Doctor think such a character would be... automatically better? Which I'm not cool with, a female Doctor would still have to be a good character, not poof, you're female, automatic good points. And while I feel stating the Doctor should only be male is a bit narrow, I don't think it makes you horrible sexist scum who has to die in a fire.
I dunno. It's not somewhere I want to tread. With my shows, what happens, happens. Not as if I own them, is it? I'll focus on making the things I DO own good instead, that's more productive than yelling at a screen.
