Female?: There is some debate about whether or not the Pyro is female. Other classes' domination responses (Spy, Sniper, Scout, Soldier, Demoman) that refer to this speculation appear to be insulting the Pyro's fighting capability. The flowery purse or toiletry-bag in his/her locker has also sparkled towards the debate, as well as the Pyro's humiliation stance is a female-like waiting posture, putting his/her hands on his/her waist and tapping his/her foot. Additionally, Pyro has been referred to as both "he" and "she" by Valve, including on the blog. So far there has been no official confirmation stating whether the Pyro is a Male or a Female. http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Pyro
