Though it was never completed, The Nightmare Fair, released as a novelization, is supposedly part of the "official cannon", according to The Terrestrial Index. If so....SPOILER WARNING
The Celestial Toymaker identifies the Doctor by his gene-print. Surely, then, regeneration somehow avoids changing the genetic makeup of a Time Lord. This makes it unlikely that a male (XY) will become a female (XX). But it might mean that a male could LOOK like a female, because the Doctor's hair color changes, and that is an example of genetic determinism. Regeneration, then, somehow overrides the genes.

It seems to me that BOTH the Male and the Female pairs of GENEs have (at least) one 'X' Gene/Chromozone/Whatever .... so could the Sex determinants stuff be carried on that 'X' bizzo??
If not, Why not??
