Outside the human race, though, there are species across the animal kingdom who naturally change sex - to have as many offspring as possible, or to keep their social hierarchies organised.
I've heard of various animals doing that if they find themselves in a situation where there aren't enough females to sustain the population.
So what would happen if, say, the entire Time Lord population were reduced to two males? One would think, with all their l33t bioengineering, they would have a mechanism to correct this, perhaps? :)
