Doctor who had every type of queer back in the mid-late 2000s. From a trans "last human" to lesbian aliens

Wait, that "bitchy trampoline" was trans? How is that even possible with so few body parts left?

In her introduction episode she makes reference to "when I was a little boy"

She’s also a conwoman, which is kinda unfortunate and ties into upsetting stereotypes and tropes.

There's enough examples of positive trans or otherwise characters in Doctor Who that it should be fine. You should be able to use queer characters as villains so long as them being queer isn't part of their motivation.

I just dislike/am suspicious of a trans character whose main traits are that she is duplicitous and obsessed with unnecessary cosmetic surgeries. I’m not anti queer villains, but I bristle at stereotypes about queer individuals being used as their villainous traits.
