 They knew she was a woman and that the Doctor was established
as a masculine male character for over 50 years.

 They also knew that it had already been established in the show
that Time Lords can change gender... following the General and
your favourite incarnation of the Master, Missy. So the Doctor
following suit wasn't a completely revolutionary idea to fans of
the show.
 The way you go on about it you'd swear it had never been done
before...

The gender-swapping / ethnicity-swapping nonsense was only fully "established" relatively recently and explicity so that the show's makers could increase the Politically Correct quota tickboxing. Before that there was at best only vague hints or joking lines of dialogue.
