Well, this clip shows the withered Master taking Nyssa's Father Tremas's body:

Having seen him Regenerate in Utopia, the Time Lords must've granted The Master a new set of Regenerations, sometime between the end of The TV Movie and The Time War.
It's a "no." for me.
Although...
If it were to happen I do rather like this scenario

My idea for such a story is for the Doctor to have to regenerate as Women for a specific purpose.
The Doctor finds out where Galifrey is but discovers that someone has got there first and has occupied the planet imprisoning the entire population.
The Doctor realises that his normal tactic of just turning up and trying rescue his people will not work.
After some thought he comes up with a plan to get to Galifrey without the occupiers realising it is him.
His plan is to force a regeneration into the body of a young woman and pretend he/she is the companion.
To make this work he/she needs to find someone who could pretend to be the Doctor (Lee Evens would be a good choice).
After a series of adventures establishing the ruse the TARDIS lands on Galifrey and the Doctor puts his/her plan into operation.
Following on from this story the Doctor discovers that she is enjoying being a woman. Which allows for the possibility of future female Doctor's.”

Please do some research on 'political correctness' and what it actually means. Hint: it's got nothing to do with gender equality, racial equality or any other kind of equality.

It is politically correct to say that the genders are interchangeable, on a spectrum or that one can pick one's gender. However, this is not the case. Gender is simply binary - a one or a zero. You can mutilate your body into looking like the other gender, but you cannot change from an XX into an XY chromosome state or vice versa. Your chromosomes define your gender, not your attitude, wishes, mode of dress or plumbing. Thus, it seems to mostly be the politically correct brigade who keep yelling to switch The Doctor's gender.
52 real years. 2000+ in story years. At least 12 regenerations and The Doctor has always been male. This is because he is male and it is part of who he is. If he were to change today, it would simply be political correctness run amok.
No to a female Doctor. If the production team want a female then reinvent the Rani, reinvent Romana or be creative and create a new female time lord character.
