The scenes garnered criticism on social media, with fans accusing the show’s producers of trying to “brainwash” viewers.
“Absolutely no need for the trans storyline #DrWho. Dr Who is about escapism,” one user wrote. “Not trying to brainwash everyone into all this gender crap. I’m so disappointed and I feel sorry for my son with learning difficulties who doesn’t understand this misogynistic crap!”
“Dr. Who got infected by the woke mind virus,” commentator Elijah Schaffer said.
