For anyone complaining of the way Doctor Who is confronting gender issues, I remind you that fiction, and science fiction in particular, often reflects that with which contemporary society is grappling at any given moment.
It's not a coincidence, for example, that there were multiple "space hippies" episodes of Star Trek and Lost in Space, that classic Superman so often found himself battling gangsters, or that STTNG had an episode about cloning. These were all notable concerns of their day, and SciFi/fantasy offered one lens with which to examine them.
Now society is coming to terms with pronouns, non-binary and transgender people, etc., so here we are, exploring with stories. It's only natural and expected.
