#NotMyDoctor, often shortened to #NMD, was a Twitter hashtag used by certain Doctor Who fans to voice their dissatisfaction at Jodie Whittaker's casting as The Doctor. The prominent argument was that The Doctor shouldn't be cast as a woman, though some will state it refers solely to Jodie specifically. The movement had a reputation for voicing reactionary rhetoric, and had been accused of promoting bigotry.
NMD started to be used as a noun to refer to Whovians who use the hashtag, or who espouse similar reactionary statements surrounding the Thirteenth Doctor. However later on, some Chibnall era fans were accused of using it to refer to anyone who disliked or frequently critiqued the era, regardless as to the tone or context.
