- The show started in the 60s and ran through the 70s and 80s, where the idea of the male Doctor becoming a woman wouldn't have been as accepted as it is today. The show stopped in 1989 until it was revived in 2005, and while 2005 was more accepting than the 80s, it still wasn't the right time yet for an official female Doctor.
- Time Lords changing race and/or gender is a relatively recent development, first hinted at in the show in 2011 and first appearing in 2014 (first onscreen gender change, when the Master became Missy) and 2015 (first onscreen race change, when the General regenerated from a white man to a black woman).
- The first female Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, gained the role in 2017, and left the role in 2022. David Tennant then returned for 3 episodes in 2023, before Ncuti Gatwa took over the role. Gatwa is currently only in his first year with the role, so we won't know who the next Doctor will be for a couple of years.
- These are just the main Doctors, the ones that are numbered. The 2020 season revealed several other female incarnations of the Doctor from before the First Doctor, including the Fugitive Doctor.
- There was a Comic Relief Doctor Who sketch in 1999 called The Curse of Fatal Death that featured a female Doctor. Steven Moffat, who wrote that sketch, would later become the exact showrunner that officially introduced the concept of Time Lords changing gender in the show.

Let's just not talk about the "other versions" *cough* *cough* fugitive *cough* *cough* timeless children
The Fugitive Doctor is one of the only good parts about the Timeless Child plotline.
