you see the thing is. this is not "the doctor is surprised hes queer". he knows he is percieved as queer in human eyes. hes always known that. 12 says it outright too this is NOT news to them as a person in general. the news is that he says his feelings out loud now. like with "i loved her". because 10 absolutely would not let anyone know what hes feeling and thinking and this is 10-reprise. its literally laid out so clearly
babygirl I love it when u get catholic
nonono the master is space jesus it's literally the second coming it's rapture horror. Rassilon puts that thing in his head and makes him a messiah to pull them back into the mortal world and bring about the end of days they are trying to kill all of creation so the pure of heart can ascend into holy vestiges of light free of their bodies and of sin the doctor literally goes hey um. This is a death cult. U know this is a death cult rite

I feel extremely awkward posting something that isn’t a summary to the story from the beginning on a practically empty blog, but we guessed it’s gonna be something like this from the beginning and did intend the blog to be about like this, so I think I can do it
I’m about to post a described drawing of Kenossium and this is a follow-down to that, but also on itself.
______
If gender exists on Gallifrey, it is evidently assigned on the basis of the body — which honestly is extremely weird for a culture that focuses on the domination of mind but let’s forget that for a bit I guess ok…
A transgender/transsexual Gallifreyan with the ability to regenerate and to control that regeneration to some extent can modify their next body upon regeneration, and it can definitely subconsciously go like that too; but in other cases, if you were originally assigned female, were a cis woman, and then regenerate into a body that gets assigned male and your gender is male now, you are now a cis man. And if your gender is still female, you’re a trans woman, even if you were a cis woman half an hour ago. Etc.
The lines said by Kenossium (the General) absolutely were just Moffat’s shitty joke. But if we death-of-the-author them (and only take one half), we see that Kenossium doesn’t seem to have enjoyed “being a man”. Being a woman again was “back to normal” for her; yes, newer incarnations of Gallifreyans shit-talking their previous ones is a classic, but.
In Higginsverse, Kenossium participates in the anti-government resistance and civil war.
“Fuck it, I don’t have to serve Rassilon” would also be the perfect time to decide “fuck it, I don’t have to be a man”!
