At this point, I'm not entirely sure myself whether that line was supposed to be simply a throwaway joke, or if Missy was actually being serious. It could be that she's referring to a future incarnation of his (since they're both time travelers, and we know for a fact that the Doctor can't have been female before).
I guess we'll have to wait and see if the subject comes up in a future episode?
Okay, I've decided to share this, because it really blew my mind, although an explanation is ridiculously simple...
So, remember how Clara asked Missy in The Magician's Apprentice since when has she [Missy] cared about the Doctor? Quoting the response:
"Since always. Since the Cloister Wars. Since the night he stole the moon and the President’s wife. Since he was a little girl. One of those was a lie – can you guess which one?"
We all assumed that Missy took a twist on the 'Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking' Trope and that the last one was a lie. I mean, we know for a fact that every regeneration of the Doctor was male, right?
Well now, remember Hell Bent and Twelve and Clara in the Cloisters? He said that the claim he "stole the moon and the president's wife" is a lie. Now, if we're believe that Missy really only told ONE lie that time...
Then we have something to think about, don't we?

The Doctor can't have been a little girl at sone point because the whole plot where Eleven gets a new set of regenerations would be blown apart.

If there had been another regeneration in there... yeah.
... who says One's gender has always matched his outward appearance? >:D
(However: you're right. ^_^)

They want their mouldy jokes back.
(No, seriously, I've thought about jokingly suggesting One was Actually a Girl yesterday. You're psychic.)

Who says that she's talking about the Doctor's past? They're both time travellers...
hS >:D
...wait, no, wrong one.
