Yeah I think a lot of Chibnals detractors are in for a rude awakening. Sure, you can say it wasn't woke for RTD1 but that's nostalgia considering he:

parodied Tony Blair with John Simms master
created an out and proud pansexual in Harkness
portrayed the Doctor as ambiguous sexually, accepting advances from Jack and Lynda (?) In parting of ways
the slitheen two-parter being commentary on the war on terror and false claims of WMDs

I think that in the time since 2010, RTDs writing experience and the general increase in right wing radicalisation since 2015 are combining to create these decisions like able bodied Davros or 14 regenerating clothes
