It's been two years since The Power of the Doctor, and on my rewatch, the clothes change bothers me even more now than it did then. It's the absolute worst example of faux progressivism in Doctor Who.
"We can't show a man in women's clothes because it will cause mockery of drag."
So we should now avoid showing anything that will earn the ire of right wing bigots? Should we now only show straight white males and females dressed in gendered clothing and acting out traditional gender roles? (And maybe, just maybe, if you're worried about people mocking drag, don't cast a drag queen as a villain a few episodes later).
I'm not a believer in tradition by any means, but I've always loved seeing the new Doctor in the old Doctor's clothes. It feels like the essence of the previous incarnation is still there as the new incarnation's personality forms. In The Woman Who Fell to Earth Jodie not only wears Peter's outfit, but actively keeps putting his coat back on until encouraged to change by Yaz.
While I was hoping we wouldn't go straight back to a male Doctor straight after Jodie and would get a good few female incarnations after her, in the back of my mind I thought when the next male Doctor eventually came I was looking forward to seeing him in a female Doctor's outfit. But instead we get this. Jodie can wear Peter's outfit and respect his legacy and continue his character journey, but RTD won't allow David to do the same.
The worst thing about all this is that Jodie designed her outfit so it would be as gender neutral as possible, so that anyone could dress up the Thirteenth Doctor and feel included. But RTD decided to stick his middle finger up at that because he didn't want his cool manly hero to wear a "woman's" outfit.
I hate it with a passion.
(Everything by the Thirteenth Doctor era team was great though).
