Well, I was planning to write an extended reply for quite some time. But we all know where good intentions lead. However, there was new information, and it did not come from Series 11. Here is the quote "Scan me again. I'm not loba or human. I'm not man or woman in the way you understand it. Scan me again!"

- Thirteenth Doctor speaking about her own gender.

To give context, this was an explanation provided in a misogynistic society when she was charged with a violation as a female. Plus, she was talking to a drone. There is zero per cent of joke here. It is a matter of life and if not death, then a very painful torture. The reference to species right before shows, in addition, that she is nov not speaking about herself personally.

This is, therefore, how Time Lords perceive gender. I hope that this quote would put to rest once and for all any idea of having any preference for a gender applied to Time Lords. Any particular incarnation has a current gender, but it is wrong to apply a particular gender to the whole lifetime of a Time Lord.
