Sounds to me like there’s a common precedent in Time Lord society based on that line that many retain “basically the same model of body” through all their lives. Not all, but it’s obviously enough to be a pretty common thing. All it means is that he thought he was not one of the Time Lords that ever changes race (notice he is also referring to his skin color) or sex. Which is apparently a thing on Gallifrey. That doesn’t really tell us which one is more rare than the other or whatever.
