      I mentioned Yaz to someone I know the other day and they said the Doctor doesn't "do romance." Yeah except 3 of the past 5 Doctors have been married to River Song and they kissed on screen all the time. Complete cowards at the BBC

        honestly, I have mixed vibes about the whole thing.
        in a way I feel like it would be more transgressive for the character if Jodi was shipped with a man, as The Doctor has really only shown interest in woman before.
        at the same time there is something kind of biologically essentialist about that maybe, and there is an argument that The Doctor being into woman as a man versus as a lesbian would be "new".
        although I don't think they would ever dive too deep into any of this.
