Hell hath no fury like an internet man-baby scorned. After BBC's brilliant decision to cast Broadchurch's Jodie Whittaker as the thirteenth doctor016 ArchivesDoctor Who, fans are upset that the time-traveling regenerative alien could possibly take the form of a human woman.
So many have had the audacity to complain, in fact, that BBC issued a statement Wednesday in response to the absurdity.
SEE ALSO: The next 'Doctor Who' had the perfect response to people not happy about her genderBBC's full statement can be found on the company website, and reads as follows:
Since the first Doctor regenerated back in 1966, the concept of the Doctor as a constantly evolving being has been central to the programme. The continual input of fresh ideas and new voices across the cast and the writing and production teams has been key to the longevity of the series.
The Doctor is an alien from the planet Gallifrey and it has been established in the show that Time Lords can switch gender.
As the Controller of BBC Drama has said, Jodie is not just a talented actor but she has a bold and brilliant vision for her Doctor. She aced it in her audition both technically and with the powerful female life force she brings to the role. She is destined to be an utterly iconic Doctor.
We hope viewers will enjoy what we have in store for the continuation of the story.
And if you're not on board for it, guess what: Thirteen doesn't need you. She's already a force to be reckoned with.
Whittaker will make her debut as the thirteenth doctor in the traditional Doctor WhoChristmas special.
