I would probably go with it happily enough if they did ever find an actress who they believed would make for a perfect Doctor, but yeah I don't feel comfortable campaigning for it either and questioning why it hasn't happened yet. Maybe if this was the third or fourth regeneration then it would work well within the show and make sense, but the Doctor has kept his male form for twelve regenerations in a row, so at this point I accept that the Doctor identifies as male. Just as River Song identifies as female, and so to me it wouldn't have felt quite right if she decided to regenerate from Alex Kingston into a male actor
ETA Oh and I get that sex doesn't=gender, it just seems like Time Lord's have always had enough control over their regenerations to stick with their preferred sex
