-In the real world, Vanessa would likely consider herself [[transgender]]. Jack uses he/him pronouns in his anecdote, while trans women tend to use she/her pronouns, in line with their gender. [[Toby Whithouse]], who wrote the script to ''[[Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)|Greeks Bearing Gifts]]'', also used he/him pronouns in reference to a trans-coded female horse, [[Susan (A Town Called Mercy)|Susan]], in a comedic line delivered by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]''. Both have been understood by some fans as transphobic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/little-boxes-will-make-you-angry-doctor-who-and-transphobia-71391.htm|title=Little Boxes Will Make You Angry: Doctor Who and Transphobia|author="Michelle Kerry"|date of source=27 January 2015|website name=Doctor Who TV|accessdate=9 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://purplespacecats.tumblr.com/post/32526431018/i-agree-w-you-about-whithouse-but-i-think-its|title=Wait, why do you dislike Toby Whithouse?

+In the real world, Vanessa would likely consider herself [[transgender]], and use feminine pronouns, in line with her gender identity. Yet the fact that writer [[Toby Whithouse]] has Jack use masculine pronouns in his anecdote suggests to some fans — especially when evaluated against some scenes in other Whithouse scripts — a level of transphobia in the writer's DWU output.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/little-boxes-will-make-you-angry-doctor-who-and-transphobia-71391.htm|title=Little Boxes Will Make You Angry: Doctor Who and Transphobia|author="Michelle Kerry"|date of source=27 January 2015|website name=Doctor Who TV|accessdate=9 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://purplespacecats.tumblr.com/post/32526431018/i-agree-w-you-about-whithouse-but-i-think-its|title=Wait, why do you dislike Toby Whithouse?
