#extend their welcome to him in a way that feels veryyy.. I see you

I have thoughts abt the doctor participating in practices that were previously exclusive to members of a sisterhood more than once.

#like yes the whole thing with the sibylline sisterhood in the pompeii episode of nuwho was a joke and he was plenty disrespectful towards #the practices of the sisterhood of karn but like #looking past the weird stuff that comes from sci-fi writers looking down on mysticism and being generally misogynistic (bc I would like to #take it differently for my own interpretation of canon) while also keeping in mind that . yes the doctor is non-binary. no the writers did #not actually think of the doctor as non-binary in the modern sense for the majority of the shows lifespan. I still enjoy the fact that they #couldn’t help but touch on the nature of his genderqueerness/gender-nonconformity. like they couldn’t help it!! it’s always there!! even #when they’d vehemently deny it if asked directly. it’s still there in practice! #idk if I’m getting my feelings across but. idk. even when the sisterhood as a whole rejects him there is usually a member or two that do #extend their welcome to him in a way that feels veryyy.. I see you #and he himself ridicules the idea that their exclusion of him is reasonable. like yes the writers probably mostly intended that to be bc he #thinks their rules are stupid but I’m trans and I say it’s bc he’s gnc !!!!! ‘just us girls’ !!!!! #the brain of morbius #classic who rewatch #doctor who #classic who #fourth doctor #mios
