The Master, on the other hand, has always been a bit of a wild card and I could see him making the choice to be a woman as a further means to his/her goals. Of course, we have no idea how the character is back so perhaps it wasn't so much a decision as necessitated for other reasons. Still, I think it is a development that makes for more sense for the Master as opposed to the Doctor.

Yeah, I agree. Hence why I'm still on the fence about it rather than the usual hatred I'd be ranting by now

It's literally just the romance angle from a certain sect of fans/writers and the blatant push for the next Doctor to be female there's going to be. When Capaldi leaves its going to be stronger than ever.
