I would personally lean towards using gender-neutral descriptors. --[[User:SJBroadside|SJBroadside]] [[User talk:SJBroadside|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC) | The Tomorrow Windows only describes this Ninth Doctor as such: "A stockily-built figure in a crushed velvet suit and eyeliner stared arrogantly into the distance."

The Tomorrow Windows only describes this Ninth Doctor as such: "A stockily-built figure in a crushed velvet suit and eyeliner stared arrogantly into the distance." Now, it was almost certainly Morris's intent that the "figure" was male, considering that Eddie Izzard at the time publicly identified as such and the concept of Time Lords crossing genders on regeneration had not been firmly established, but in light of her current pronouns is it fair to assume that this Ninth Doctor uses he and him? I would personally lean towards using gender-neutral descriptors. --SJBroadside ☎ 19:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
