The writer, who has also penned hit series including Queer as Folk, Years and Years and It's a Sin, and who will return with his Channel 4 drama Tip Toe this year, spoke about the beloved series at a masterclass during Series Mania.
Elaborating on what he meant, the showrunner said: "It isn't, technically, but [the Doctor's] an outsider who doesn’t fit in with the world and lives his own life, and he's very othered from sex and from relationships and from politics and from the establishment."
He continued: "I think they are different things. I know they’re different things, I absolutely know that."
In Doctor Who's modern era, there have been clearer examples of LGBTQ+ representation, including (but certainly not limited to) Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor having a romantic storyline with Jonathan Groff's Rogue in season 14.
Davies previously opened up to Radio Times about LGBTQ+ people being represented in Doctor Who, saying that he didn't necessarily view anything he's added to the series as representation per se, explaining: "I think it's my life."

"And it's very normal to me, I don't know any other way to make things. And some people might come along and make a fuss about that. But I've moved on by then, so I don't care."
Davies added: "But I think it's a great thing to see. I think Doctor Who’s a great big open door for everyone to come and see. Even if you’re straight as a nail, come and watch because there’s lots in this for you."
"I still feel that there's that sense of Doctor Who being about finding your chosen family, and I think that's something that a lot of people, for better or for worse, in the queer community, have to go through a lot more," she said.
