Okay....

To those of you swearing off Doctor Who now because the new Doctor is going to be a woman - on behalf of all the rest of us, let me be one among many to wish that the door hits you on the rear end on the way out so hard that your rear end cheeks burst forth from your genitalia. If you're that much of a fair-weather misogynistic hypocrite that you can't stomach a change of gender for a fictional character, you're better off on a psychologist's couch than hanging out with any fandom group, and we couldn't be more happy to see you go. You won't be missed, we don't care; just shut your cakehole, leave and close the door behind you.

Next, to those of you foaming at the mouth about SJW pandering/political correctness or other such drivel, I understand what you THINK you're trying to say. I didn't want them to choose a woman as the next Doctor for socio-political reasons. I wanted it to be because it would greatly enhance and expand the dynamic of the show and create bold new stories for the Doctor. I also wanted it to be because the actor seemed to be the right person for the job. Is Jodie Whittaker the right person for the job? Since I haven't seen her work, I honestly can't say...but I hope so.

The point is, she's here now; she's the next Doctor, and she deserves a shot. Let's be normal, non-sexist, open-minded adults about this and see how this plays out. Show some support, a modicum of kindness and understanding, and let's see where the TARDIS takes us.

That's not too much to ask.
