Would you stop watching if the Doctor became female?
It's one thing for the Master to have a sex change, but it's another thing for the Doctor to cross that line.
This thread is not about discussing whether or not it should happen. That has been discussed to death on DS. I want to focus on whether people who hate the idea would stop watching if it did happen. I'm not going to vote in the poll, but if I did, I would choose Yes. The change would be too much for me. The Doctor is not human, but he is essentially male. Gender is not like skin colour. Gender is fundamental to personal identity, while skin colour is just a surface trait. Would you still watch DW if the Doctor became female? |

I would continue to watch. I think if the right actress comes along who is the best choice for playing the Doctor at that time then they should go for it. It would be an interesting change and could open up new things to explore.

So, the thread is called "would you stop watching...?" but the poll asks "will you still watch...?"
Cue some confused people and no possible hope of getting an accurate measure of opinion. |

This poll needs a 'Perhaps' option.
The most likely scenario is I'd watch the 1st episode just to confirm that they did indeed make the doctor female for misguided socio-political reasons ( NOT because the best actor for the role happened to be female) and then switch off for good. |

Cue some confused people and no possible hope of getting an accurate measure of opinion. Yep, I'm one of those confused people. I answered the TITLE question... Couldn't even see a poll question my iPhone. @FreeRadical I'd delete and start again. You won't get be able to gage opinion from this poll because you won't know which question ppl are answering! |

Arghhh conflicting questions.
your poll question is the opposite of the thread question. So this poll is now void. |

I voted No by mistake - due to differing question
![]() I would of course continue watching to see how it plays out and make my decision then. I wasn't expecting to enjoy a female Master as much as I did. |

I voted No meaning I wouldn't stop watching. Didn't notice the poll question was different!
I like shows with a female lead. Personally I hope they don't do that as, to me, it wouldn't be the Doctor any more if that happened but the concept of the show with a female lead would still be enjoyable in its own right, I reckon. |

If you've read the discussions, then you know that your statement is controversial, and can only invite rebuttals.

I would continue watching, but in all honesty I would have to vent my spleen!

I, too, voted incorrectly because I assumed the thread title was also the poll question.
Judging by the number of posters this has happened to, perhaps all "no" votes should count as "yes", and vice versa! |

Damn I was fooled by the question as well and voted wrongly. It would be the end of Dr Who for me if they changed the sex of the character. How to finally end a programmes that has lasted over 5o years.
