I've long since decided that, in my personal fanon, at least, a Time Lord may choose their gender at regeneration, although most of 'em prefer to stick with their gender imposed on 'em at birth/being woven out of the loom, just because it's, well, what they know.
But I like to think that there's a perceptible percentage of Time Lords who are, for whatever reason, effectively transgender.
(I've also a large pile of meta about how gender *should* be meaningless in Time Lord society, but I haven't written it down in any way as to make much sense. I really should do that one of these days...)
So, yeah, I'm with you. There's no plausible reason why the eleventh Doctor couldn't be played by a woman.
