To be or not to be...Female?

I'm going to start a new series of posts, about the possibilities of different groups of people becoming The 12th Doctor, starting with Females.

Every year since Tom Baker left the TARDIS, rumours have risen about female Doctors, but with Matt Smith's announcement, they were more furious than ever, fulled by interviews by Steven Moffat from throughout Smith's tenure. So, should The Doctor be famale or is it a bad idea?

Pros
It would give us a fantastic chance to see how the Doctor would handle losing his male parts and gaining female parts. I know he's changed before, but we could be presented with an extremley dramatic and traumatic episode with The Doctor handling the change, leaving Clara to stop a threat by herself. Many people see the Doctor's handling of the change as a bad thing, but I think it would be like a repeat of The Twin Dilema just with less balls.

It would also be interesting how it would effect The Doctor's attitude towards everything. His attitude and personallity has changed before, but never into a female. What would his dress sense be like if he became a woman? I mean we sort of know his male dress sense- Crazy- but would it become he became female? Crop tops and short skirts? Long dresses? Tank top and jeans? Or would it stay the same? And would he start to wear make up or would he go without because he still sort of sees himself as a bloke? I think this would be interesting to see.

The introduction of a female Doctor would also give girls a role model. I think many young male fans look up to The Doctor as a strong role model, who you should be like (which incarnation is up to) except for the alien fighting part, I certainly ask myself in many situations WWTDD? (What Would The Doctor Do?), and it helps me! I think girls would rather have a female role model, and so should get a Doctor to look up to if they want to. And it would also mean that they wouldn't have to play companion in the playground anymore, as it has been for 40 or so years- when they play Doctor Who in the playground, they could pretend to be Doctor number 12.
Cons
Some people see that it's too big a change after 50 years of a man (this will be a common arguement in most of these articles), and it would just be not right. Alot of fans may feel alienated and may not welcome the change, feeling that it's a wrong change. I can see where they're coming from. It would feel weird for many.

What sort of a relationship would The Doctor have with his companions if he became a woman? He's flirted with many of the female ones over the years and he's kissed a few of them too. He would suddenly be a woman continually flirting with his companions and kissing them. And he has a wife. What would happen if he met up with River? It would just be awquard...

My Opinion
I don't mind whether there is a male or female Doctor. Aslong as the chosen woman is a good actress and is chosen, not just to be a female Doctor, but because she is a great actress who the production team want to be the Doctor!

Possible Actresses
I wouldn't mind Emillia Fox as a female Doctor, or maybe even Scarlet Johansson, she would make a good Doctor I think.
