Can somebody tell me Davison's hating there being a woman cast as the doctor didn't really happen or was a misunderstanding? Because every other doctor has been so lovely about it.

You can't call literally anything racist without a white person showing up to argue that it wasn't.

The Tim Shaw thing bugged me and I couldn't put my finger on why, and today it dawned on me that calling somebody by the wrong name is what extremely lovely people do to trans people and maybe teaching children it's okay to do if it's somebody you hate isn't the best.

What about the Doctor stealing Davros' chariot? That's akin to stealing a person's wheelchair and mocking them.
You're joking, probably, but uh... yeah?

I don't know if you know anybody who's wheelchair-bound, but an acquaintance of mine is, and the stories he has about abled people being generally lovely are jaw-dropping.

Why are you automatically seeing misogyny here when he didn't even say why he found her insufferable?
Because when there's an incredibly online, incredibly toxic, and incredibly vocal contingent of nerds warring for control of every genre fiction franchise, it's kind of on you to explain how you're not one of them rather than on everybody else to expect that nobody is.

I don't like it either, but if somebody tells me they hate the new Star Wars movies and forty-nine times out of fifty when you let them talk long enough, they basically just hate that women and black people have agency in genre fiction now, I kind of have to assume the fiftieth person doesn't have any legitimate points to make until they say what they are.

More than that, he needs somebody to tell him when it's a bad idea because he'd already done it better.

I still want Haley Atwell, but I fell so much in love with Jodie's portrayal that I can wait. When it came time to change my name, I almost went with Jodie, but then I remembered that it's best not to name yourself after people who are still alive because... well, imagine naming your kid after Graham Linehen or something only to find out he's a massive git.

Levine: The record ratings for the most recent season of the show is further proof of how reviled it is by fans!
Star Wars making more money than ever by having women and black people matter is proof that the franchise is on the wrong track!

Captain Marvel making a billion dollars is proof that women shouldn't be superheroes!

I unabashedly love that these CHUDs keep getting proven wrong, over and over, though I'd be a lot happier if the media didn't treat the narrative as a "both sides" thing since one side is so clearly wrong.

Have Big Finish made 10th and River stories yet? It always bugs me how she asks ten if he's yet experienced things she did with Eleven, and that's never going away, but at the very least, it would settle my brain goblins a little bit if she had some other adventures with him.

How dorky would it be to buy 13's coat and just use it... as a coat. Like, in every day life.

I've never bought a woman's coat before and I quite like hers.

Even pre-transition, I never wore coats. Always preferred flannels and hoodies, but even women's cut flannels read as men's clothing to strangers, much to my great frustration.

Funnily enough, my only two coats are a brown coat quite similar to Malcolm Reynolds' from Firefly and I was gifted a long leather trench I only wore a couple of times with dress clothes (and once for Halloween when I was Spike from Buffy) that's fairly close to 9's.

It's actually probably less dorky to wear it now than it was before she started wearing it, because it's kind of a weird coat.

If you find it for sale somewhere though let me know because I also want one.
Not on sale, but Hot Topic has it for 80 bucks US down to the TARDIS lining and my first transition birthday is next week and while I don't have more money than sense, I do have a credit card and painful need to do something nice for myself to mark the occasion.

Yes please tell me you got the boots, they're so cool.
One paycheck at a time. This was almost a hundred U.S. Boots, pants, suspenders and sonic will trickle in over the month leading to Halloween. Then I'll bleach my hair blonde and we're off to the races.

Provided I don't wear the shirt and coat together, which is a bit much, I think I can use all but the pants and suspenders as non-costume clothes in regular rotation, but I have to return the shirt for a larger one, because while the XL makes my boobs look fantastic, it shows off a little too much gut and the tight shoulders make me look like a dude.

I absolutely adore this coat. It fits the wrestling t-shirt dictum of "if fans get it, cool, but nobody else will know."

As for the requested boots, do these look close enough? https://www.amazon.com/Top-Moda-EC8...boots+for+women

Edit: Dammit. Those don't come in big ol' trans woman feet sizes. Do you think these work or are they too shiny?

Your excitement is contagious. I'm more than ready for more 13 content.
:3: Thank you!

It's weird, the way I feel about 13 and Jodie and Chibnall. I don't like her TARDIS. I didn't love most of the episodes, even if I liked them. I miss the bombast of Moffat's big story arcs and the almost amateurish enthusiasm of Rusty's, but even despite all that, 13 might be my favorite doctor because Jodie is so full of absolute joy and like you said about me, that's incredibly infectious. 11 was my doctor and I expected that never to change, but come on. Just watch her go. :)

Add in the fact that I came out as trans the same week she regenerated and I feel such a personal connection to her. So much to the point that my name was Joe and is now Jolene, but for a hot minute I thought I'd change it to Jodie, and the only two reasons I didn't are that Jodie can also be a guy's name and I didn't want that, but also because what if she turned to the be a pederast or transphobe or something, unlikely as that seems. I've been alive long enough to know not to tie your identity to another person.

Look at her go. That's who I want to be.

It was utterly ridiculous. The basic premise of the Doctor is that the Doctor is an alien from Gallifrey who travels through time and space with one or more companions. Whether or not the Doctor has a cock is completely immaterial to the premise and it's so stupid that people lost their minds.
We don't know she doesn't! :-P
