also I'm opening up to the idea of the doctor being a woman, I just hope it's not a social justice stunt and it actually works with the story.

It's probably a bit of both - the "SJW" movement is more prevalent now than it was during the other Doctors' casting, so would possibly have more of an influence - HOWEVER that doesn't mean she can't be well-written and give good performances.

Yes thats what I meant but there has been pressure for the doctor to be a woman for a while now and it was ignored with matt smith and Capaldi so I hope this is them thinking that its now the right time rather than them caving in. At least it's not Moffatt writing for the first female doctor because much as he has grown on me his strong, badass woman trope that always seems to fall into just wouldn't work.
