Opens new creative ground if they choose to pursue it.
Do Timelords get gender dysphoria?
BenRG:
From the final episode of season 9, I got the impression that it is considered to be as much an occupational hazard as coming out with big ears or red hair. The Castilian of Gallifrey did remark that she was glad to be back in a female body.
If anything, the implication seems to be that there is a small statistical likelihood that you will regenerate into the objectively 'wrong' gender and that Gallifreyans had long since learned to accept that as a drawback of their biology.

That's the point, though, isn't it? This has the risk of being perceived as tokenism to stimulate audience interest when the right way to stimulate audience interest is to hire decent writing talent and stop the producers from trying to turn the show into a personal ego-driven display.
Tova:
I am completely confident that their choice of actor for the thirteenth doctor was driven by her nailing the audition and the promise of giving a female audience a hero rather than change for change's sake, as much as the show needs change.
There will be a be show runner as well, so I don't think there's much reason to suggest that all else will remain the same.
Kugai:
Interestingly enough, this has been something that had been speculated on since the end of Tom Baker's run as The Doctor,, but no-one really thought that they'd end up going down that route.
It shall prove interesting
