some highlights of Steven Moffat’s female Doctor agenda

It saddens me that there’s misinformation like this out there

Yes, Neil Gaiman was responsible for the Corsair line. However, Moffat chose to expand that line, as Gaiman has stated. Moffat’s been arguing for this possibility since the 90s. Never once has he said he is opposed to it happening.

“Well, it has been proposed many times that the Doctor could gender swap, and I think maybe they should have done it in the series.”

Steven Moffat, 1998

And last year at London Comic-Con he was asked this question and literally said in no uncertain terms: “Yes”.

This was followed by recounting his answer the previous year where he said:

“Well, I think my opinion is fairly obvious from the show, isn’t it? What I think about the possibility and whether it would work or not? I think I’ve expressed myself about as clearly as I could, in the context of the show. If you’re not reading the subtext, then I’ll lend you. But believe me, some people aren’t reading that subtext, ‘cause it’s too subtle.”

He was saying this while wildly gesticulating towards and jazz-handing around Michelle Gomez who was sat next to him.
