That has never been part of regeneration. It was part of the very first regeneration. Yes and not since. Lots of things were different at first.

So watching the regeneration I noticed the Doctors clothes changed. That has never been part of regeneration. I hope they have a reason for this otherwise it comes off as them not wanting to put Tennant in "womans" clothes. According to Davis in the Magazine, the reason they didn't go with Tennant appearing in Jodie's outfit was because RTD felt like putting a straight man in a women's outfit would be a headline the press would continuously run with all year and mock.

Then there you go, a bunch of wusses. “Oh my gosh, people will make fun of us for putting a man in girls clothes!” They can redeem it creatively by throwing out some reason for his clothes changing. But Davies should have just said that was the real reason as well. By admitting that he was worried about being made fun of makes me lose respect for him.

The weirdest thing is there was nothing overtly or traditionally feminine about the clothes. What a weird thing to worry about when it's literally a shirt and pants.
{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} It worked for the Master wearing the doctor's clothes.

Size wise it would be a little silly looking but its not a frilly dress. Like you said pants, shirt, coat.

He said in the magazine that he didn't want it to become 'weaponised', didn't want to give the tabloids ammunition to have another pop at trans people. Like, I adore Sacha Dhawan but his Master isn't making it to front page headlines where Tennant having his first appearance as the big incumbent famous name will. We've got Yasmin Finney set to star in upcoming episodes, he's not shying away from representation, but he's picking his battles.

Best way to handle it would have been to just say that there is a reason his clothes changed and it will be revealed as part of the story. Then just throw some techobabble nonsense in later. By acknowledging that you didnt feel ok with Tennant wearing a womans outfit (as in belonged to a woman, clothes were fairly unisex) you are saying a woman Doctor should be treated differently than a man Doctor.

I think maybe you don't understand the sheer scale and vitriol of transphobia in British media at the moment, if you think that's not something to be concerned about.

No I get it and he gave them more ammunition by admitting to being scared of putting a man in a womens clothing. He let them win. It validates their hate. And again he could have simply shut up about his real reason for doing it. Changed the clothes and gave a story reason for it. Instead he let the shitheads win by running from them and admitting he was doing so. Edit. For example you could say that regeneration energy is capable of changing clothes. But the Doctor does not do so because they are never sure of what kind of person they will become. Since the Doctor is changing to a former incarnation they changed their clothes because they know who they are becoming. There, a reasonable explanation that doesnt knuckle under to shitheads.

What's funny is that I just figured the outfit alteration was an intentional part of the WTF nature of the ending; that clothes changing in addition to a reversion back into a previous Doctor was supposed to be signs that something is seriously off about this regeneration.

The Doctor Who Magazine comic strip is officially canon according to RTD, it takes place directly after the regeneration, and is written by long time DW comic scribe Alan Barnes (also a writer for Big Finish) with art by veteran Lee Sullivan. {Spoiler}The story takes Fourteen to the 1966 World Cup and he bumps into some alien tourists, then the pitch is invaded by Daleks

I consider RTD to be a writer without peer, but still am baffled as to why he felt the need to place a cloud like that over the show, especially in such a massive transitional period.
