Examples:
The Doctor and his-or-her companion(s) travel through time and space in a box that's bigger on the inside.
The Doctor uses his-or-her Sonic Screwdriver for multiple purposes.
The Doctor uses his-or-her moral code to justify not just killing his-or-her enemies, no matter how vile.
If you dare omit the "or her" part, even out of habit if you've been a longer fan (I've only been one for about four years, getting in during the tail end of Matt Smith's run, but have watched enough classic episodes and red through various articles on the web, including on TV Tropes) , that automatically makes you sexist.
