Male pronouns are used in this article because those are the pronouns used by the Doctor. Though the horse's "life choices" are left vague and open to multiple interpretations, many fans have interpreted his line as meaning Susan identifies as transgender.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://liz011.tumblr.com/post/31670138060/a-town-called-mercy|title=A Town Called Mercy|author=liz011|date of source=16 September 2012|website name=Tumblr|accessdate=9 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://stfu-moffat.tumblr.com/post/31725359415/a-town-called-mercy-susan|title=A Town Called Mercy: Susan?|author=STFU Moffat|date of source=17 September 2012|website name=Tumblr|accessdate=9 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://stfu-moffathaters.tumblr.com/post/31623171731/wait-why-do-you-dislike-toby-whithouse-i-mean|title=Wait, why do you dislike Toby Whithouse?

[[Toby Whithouse]], who wrote ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]'', also made a passing reference to a trans person in another of his scripts, ''[[Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)|Greeks Bearing Gifts]]''. [[Jack Harkness]] speaks of his friend who disappeared for a while, "he comes back, and we've got to start calling him [[Vanessa (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|Vanessa]]." Whithouse uses male pronouns in both scripts for presumably MTF characters. | |||
