I've always thought of it in the sense that River is pretty much just as "Time Lord" as the rest - except, instead of Gallifreyan, she's human. She went through the same evolution as them, except instantly as a result of being conceived in the Vortex. End result = human Time Lord (not "impossible," apparently, as Ten claimed), as opposed to Gallifreyan Time Lord. Still, it's a really blurry line between Gallifreyan and Time Lord, and it's really hard to properly define them.
