The Kessek was indeed male, not that gender mattered when the entire race were so fearsome and dominating. Just being recognised as a Kessek was honourable.
At the Doctor's lack of the concept of 'personal space', the Kessek's system of reflexes is tweaked. He's suddenly incredibly aware of the silly humanoid, where each of his limbs were and what it was he seemed to be doing. A thousand assumptions and scenarios played out in his mind in the blink of an eye, each one ending with the man's death or extreme discomfort. For the moment, however, he remained still.
Well, sort of.
The Kessek's hand raised up enough to brush the Doctor away, back out of close range. "I am a protector of the Daligig. If there is ever a threat toward them, I put my own life down before their lives can be touched."
Barbara caught the Doctor, so that he didn't fall back into the wall. Although, not so much as 'caught', as put herself behind. She thought that the Kessek sounded rather melodramatic.
