Pyro's gender is still unknown, but there have been a lot of theories about Pyro being a woman because of stuff like "I fear no man... but that thing... it scares me" (in reference to Pyro), so the tf2 comics team threw in some jokes to make us question it more (hence the Soldier line, which once again is confirmed later that Soldier wasn't talking about Pyro, and also the tfc Pyro being female)

[@zombine7103]

Pyro is not a woman. Pyro is not a man and the word man doesnt always mean male. This argument must end. Developers obviously doesnt want anyone to know its gender. If you ask a developer he is going to say he is designed in a genderless way. The tfc pyro being female doesnt have anything to do with tf2 pyro. It changes almost nothing about the fact that we dont know his gender. We will never know it. Gaben wont come out and say its a woman. Worthless argument, i wish people nowadays were able to think deeper about things, critical thinking is dead. Everybody just expects some resource or theory to give them the truth but nobody is looking carefully to see that he is designed genderless on purpose, if you just look at small words like 'he' or 'man' you won't get anywhere and it will confuse yourself a lot. This is worthless. F*ck your theories. His gender will be unknown forever. If one day his gender gets revealed, then i am a son of a b*tch.

With the fact that Pauling even refers to Pyro with male terms and due to how much deeper his voice is (yes I know about the whole thing with the gas mask and how the material the suit is made out of can affect his voice), but keeping this mentally along with the build that Pyro has (keep in mind, practically every single female in the comics still has that shape in their chest to signalize the breasts) And yet Pyro lacks that. So with the voice, his build, and from what Pauling says.

"If he even is a man" is a metaphor. Or maybe it's literal, but it means he's not human. Lol

[@dylancarter9290]

When soldier suggests he suspects he knew pyro was a woman, it was a rug-pull. They’d encountered bears, and Soldier said “only two things attract bears this much. Honey, and menstruating women. He then goes on to say “I guess I’ve always known on some level… Pyro… This ship is full of honey!”

Medic thought it would be OK to refill people's veins with dirty buckets of any blood lying around. Contaminated, irregardless of blood type, irresponsible, and he doesn't even put it in right.

I think that the “if he even is a man” refers to him being so clinically insane that it’s debated if he’s even human.

[@pyrofromtf2]

I am not insane, am I?

[@Drawingodds]

If I remember right. Pyro stuffers from “schizophrenia” for those who may not know what that is: A disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. The exact cause of schizophrenia isn't known, but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role. But this means a person cannot tell what’s real or not… Pyro might very well have no idea what he’s doing.

It was that he always knew Amelia had a sweettooth for honey, not that Pyro was a woman. Also in the TF2 Invasion Teufort map, a map created by the TF2 team, it sports a X-ray of the pyro showing that yes, they are a human, but more so from the skeleton structure that they are a male.
