Even if you didn't see any, some of the male Time Lords on the

I'm sure there might once have been plenty of female Time Lords, but AIUI the destruction of Gallifrey wiped out all the Time Lords except for those who were off-planet, and very few Time Lords other than the Doctor and the Master ever seemed to go off-planet; they were an amazingly insular race. And - again AIUI - the destruction of Gallifrey made even going back to the planet before it was destroyed impossible, even though that doesn't seem to make any sense.
