I really think changing his gender would be silly. Time Lords have genders, y'know? They always regenerate as the same gender. Why the hell would the Doctor suddenly be female? Besides given the Ho-Yay Fanservice that NuWho has been piling on lately, I don't think making The Doctor female is going to lead anywhere good...
... I also think Time Lords have ethnicities locked to their regenerations as well? I don't actually know about that. But it would feel very forced to change his ethnicity - also, why the racism?
Why are blacks the go-to alternative for "acceptable" race changes? Would it really be too much to ask that the Doctor perhaps reflect the largest ethnic phenotype on the planet instead of one of the smaller ones?
Yes, I'm saying of you change the Doctor's ethnicity, he should be Chinese or Indian.
Anyway, I voted for older, because The Doctor should be going back to his roots with less sexy / flirtatious relations to his companions - too distracting, I think.
