I haven't watched much of the show - just a few episodes here and there - but I got the impression that, if he had the choice for each regeneration, The Doctor is the kind character who might well decide to be male 12 times in a row, and then try being female for a change. No idea if he's meant to have any level of choice over who he regenerates as, though.
Seems like one of the few cases of a show where they could get away with something like this.
My impression is that the ability to control the regeneration varies considerably. There's an episode in the older run where Romana flits through several variations as easily as a change of wardrobe before settling on something. It's either that, or the Doctor just likes the surprise of whatever randomly shows up when he regenerates. It's not like the Doctor has no control over it. He did re-grow a hand before the process had completed and his hand had gotten lopped off by an enemy.
Speaking of Romana, I was fine with the Master regenerating as a woman, I'm fine with the Doctor regenerating female, but for some reason it would irk me greatly for Romana to return as a man. And I would like to see her in a storyline somehow.

She's not going to paint the Tardis pink.
Well, obviously.
She will get a man in to do it.

I can't say I watch Dr Who, mostly because it's pretty rubbish, so whether the person playing the role is male or female doesn't mean an awful lot to me. But a little part of me would have liked the new Dr to be male as it would have irritated the kind of people I generally don't like.* Because I'm mature like that.
*You know the kind, the ones who were posting their outrage on twitter when Kate Middleton gave birth to a boy.

The Doctor is male. Always was, always should be. That's
The Doctor.
why?
The doctor will still be a time travelling wizard in a box, who likes helping people and is accompanied by a human or two. This is a step for inclusivity, but it's hardly a "change beyond all recognition".

Date night must be really interesting around your way, CC.

I feel like making this thread was a mistake.

Not a mistake, a blessing!...You've done your part for social justice!...Screw the congruity of a universe and the corruption of a legendary character, more anti-white male victories are what we need to make the world a better place!...

I think it's funny how the people who are on here taking a stand against shrill social justice warrior types getting their panties in a twist over nothing are the ones being the most shrill, and getting their panties in a wad. The irony's so thick, you could cut it with a knife.
The Doctor is a chick now? QUICK GUYS! MAKE A STAND AGAINST THE EMPTY HEADED TYRANNY OF THE SOCIAL JUSTICE BRIGADE BEFORE THEY STEAL OUR DICKS! COGNITIVE DISSONANCE! UNTRUTHS! CONFIRMATION BIAS!
