you can see why the Doctor might come across as lesbian- relatively short hair, androgynous clothing
Big tick there. Mum now has short hair; wears dad’s T-shirts and his 3/4 long trackie-dacks. In America or the UK you might not know those. In Australia it’s tracksuits in stretch fabric.
I apologise for such a long post. I was tr…[Read more]

@lionheart564 as I pointed out to @hobbyco, Rosa showed female racists, even one he referred to while trying to make a point about portrayal of heterosexuals.

Please believe me when I tell you it is not my intention to start some huge political debate (I just got over one in the Rosa Forum… neither of our minds changed).
I just find it very surreal. I have been hearing very similar arguments for years. The best illustration is when I was in college and the Communication Dept. attempted to…[Read more]

@hobbyco wow, that’s quite a stretch.
First episode, bad guy was an alien.
Second episode – yes, I think Art Malik was playing a bad guy. He engineered a death race. So the bad guy was Asian.
Third episode, the bad guy was a white male. The time traveller. It’s interesting that you’ll reference the wife of one of the other characters to make a…[Read more]
