Susan (A Town Called Mercy): Difference between revisions

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?
