I forget sometimes that most people in this site don't know/realise how incredibly trans the Moffat era is. There is a major arc based around a character's name that ends with the emphatic assertion that only name that matters is the one you choose yourself. There's a major character who changes gender and becomes a better, happier, and more realised person afterwards. Gender fluidity is made a major aspect of Time Lord culture. There is a Venn diagram overlap of trans girls and Capaldi-era stans, and it's for a good reason.
The TERFs absoloutly remember, they're having a field day in the notes getting progressives to say "Trans Inclusive Radical Mysogonist" unironically, as if that isn't the TERF word for anyone who supports trans rights.
Guh, Moffat repeatably wrote about women struggling with the difficult parts of their self identity and developing self love, and wrote the Doctor discovering his toxic masculine traits of pride and self centeredness and putting that aside to instead embrase kindness and consideration. Moffat has had a massive trans following as early as 2011, and he knew that because he met us at cons and had a lot of time for us.
That was part of the reason it was so important for TERFs to get everyone to pick apart every idiotic thing he said in interviews.
Guy had been campagining for the BBC to let the Doctor become a woman since the 90s. Guy does have some problematic views but supporting trans women is extremely par the course for him.
#Tumblr is all about trans rights until it comes to thinking critically about their own memes #one of the most vocal 'misogynist moffat' critics is also an open and dedicated TERF #and it was her articles that set the tone for Tumblr's reflexively anti-moffat stance since #so#um #maybe y'all should think about that
literally all i did was post a screenshot but its garnered enough notes the comments are an ecosystem that must be maintained and this is unfortunately just a sideblog so im blocking ppl but i need to access tumblr desktop to fully block them *here*. also ive seen at least one t3rf who has ME blocked so i cant even see their reply on my own post to block it.

The brain without a heart; the calculating machine. I write all of that, Holmes, and the readers lap it up, but I do not believe it. You are a living, breathing man.
i very deliberately captioned that screenshot both positively and minimally because im tired of having to make a bunch of qualifications and caveats and defenses over a writer just because of like fucking 10 years worth of a telephone game of ‘i heard this guy was bad one time, there he is, get him!’ like i genuinely dont even like a lot of the writing decisions hes made but a lot of the criticisms ive seen of him are so full of cognitive dissonance idk how it doesnt weigh yalls heads down. its exhausting. like hes just some fucking guy calm the fuck down
everyone in the notes of my post is so annoying. shut the fuck up 💖
