But generally if we'd apply the tag of non cis gender to the Doctor, we'd do so because we view regeneration into a new gender to be equivalent to transitioning. Which we don't. Instead 10 is cis while he's male and 13 is cis while she's female. Or cis-ish. Time Lord gender seems complicated from what we've seen. We really don't have the right conceptual machinery to talk about it, except to say it's definitely not the sort of thing we're talking about here. Things She Thought While Falling (short story) makes things deeply confusing to talk about, just from a few lines.

And @Never, I actually think we should remove aliens from the non Het category as well. Since if they change sex it obviously becomes impossible to pin down what "heterosexual" means. Post humans might be able to stay in it, though the Manfolk worry me.
