There is no good reason for the Doctor (Doctor Who) to regenerate as a woman.

By claiming my "reasons aren't good enough," pro has admitted they are good; which is basically a concession of the resolution in question.His attempt at changing the resolution to be if there should be a female Doctor Who or not ("You're the one wanting to change the status quo"), is irrelevant at best, as this debate is exclusively about if there are any good reasons. A good reason for something, need not beat out better reasons for something else. There being reasons against it, also does not change that. To use an analogy: when someone says they're clean, there are good reasons not to use protection; even if there are better reasons to be safe anyway."Not true." Let's analyze what is claimed to be untrue: "...Romana. A script editor decided it would be funny to have her waste a whole bunch of her limited regenerations "'trying on' different bodies instead of different outfits" [7], which needless to say is badly insulting to women." Calling this a lie is unwarranted (a DDO term meaning not backed by evidence); whereas the source for my claim is warranted (backed by evidence). What they did with Romana was as badly insulting to women, as it would be to men if The Doctor and The Master tried to settle their differences with an actual pissing contest. I have nothing against seeing one of the Doctor's kids again, however unless pro was also claiming woman having a different emotional experience from men as untrue, this walks into my suggestion of the doctor experiencing motherhood. One of his kids from before would even skip the pregnancy plot (even more family appropriate)... Also since it was Jenny that was brought up, she's not a Time Lord (the ruling elite), and has no connection to even the lowest of Gallifreyan culture [9]. Thus pro has provided no counter option for exploring a female Time Lord who isn't a suicidal dolt (Romana, wasting regenerations to try on different faces). Leaving The Doctor the best choice, thus a good reason."As long as any Time Ladies remain companions rather than trying to usurp the Doctor's role, there will not be a problem."Actually arguing that a character who is a female Time Lord, must not do anything to risk becoming more popular to fans (thus usurping his role), is almost beyond sexist. That'd be like saying River Song shouldn't be able to pilot the Tardis since she's a woman (which usurps the doctor's role as the controller of the box)."Obviously a fictitious monarch can be portrayed by anybody you like."Badly conceded point, since Time Lords are the Gallifreyan ruling elite; being the last makes The Doctor highly comparable to a monarch ("one that holds preeminent position or power" -Merriam Webster dictionary [10])."Argument from tradition?"A rather clear attempt to misrepresent my arguments, since I stated "What a terribly racist No True Scotsman fallacy and Appeal To Tradition" which refers to two separate logical fallacies, neither of which being an "argument from tradition." "Appeal to Tradition is a fallacy that occurs when it is assumed that something is better or correct simply because it is older, traditional, or 'always has been done'" [11]. "The Doctor works fine as a man"Yes, but that does not change if there are good reasons for The Doctor to ever be a female."read the TvTropes article I linked you, particularly the examples"Since pro has asked for their sources to be further dragged through the mud... 20 examples from anime (some which let the character go back and forth at a whim), 7 examples from live-action tv, of which half had the character return to their original.Plus poor conduct by claiming I can't read because I took it easy on such a poor source."Comics aren't canon"Unwarranted, as there is no source claiming official Doctor who things are not canon.Further the story The Flood "would have shown the Eighth Doctor's regeneration. Russell T Davies personally asked DWM's staff if they would like to produce the scene and they agreed initially. However, they found no way to remove Destrii (his companion) without killing her off, which they were unwilling to do. Neither would the BBC allow the strip to feature her travelling with the Ninth Doctor. These factors meant the scene was cancelled and it ended with the Eighth and Destrii still together" [12].Directly working together to avoid story conflicts (like they do with the TV show), therefore canon. "gender swap would be funny and entertaining..."A good reason for it. Also as for a "one off gag," at no point did I suggest the Doctor must stay a woman for any length of time. Heck it could even be a single episode plot with him returning to his previous form at the end.Sources:[9] http://tardis.wikia.com...[10] http://www.merriam-webster.com...
