Investigator Whitworth, Gender-Bender
I wasn't sure what I was looking at, though it did look wrong.
I read the description, recognized that the assumption of the OP is correct....and promptly LOLed.
Edit:
As an aside, I've always been bugged by the female rig in this game.
In reality, females are similarly built to males, as far as skeletal positioning and shoulder width. The only real differences(aside from the obvious) are slight pelvic region differences, smaller muscles and generally smaller size. The proportions, such as arm length versus height and shoulder width versus height, are the same.
So, it bugs me that females are essentially "too skinny" because of the default somewhat too narrow waist and definitely too narrow shoulder width(with the shoulders crammed into their sockets).
I've learned to adjust the scale settings as best I can and just ignore it, but it's still not very realistic for human models.

WHAT?! O.O
This has been the case since GR's beta, and I've /bugged it a fair few times now. I came to PM someone, but I didn't know who this should really be sent to. I thought one of the Arbiters, but their 'latest forum activity' date put me off.

No way has he been that way since GR beta. I know he looks male on ym computer every time I go there, though not since issue 22 have I went there.
Have I been completely failing to see that?!
(loads up CoH to check)

"This looks like a job for....Noble Savage!"
PM Noble Savage, a.k.a. David Nakayama.(I think he is the one to call.)
Edit:
IT'S TRUE!!
I must have never noticed because of how bulky his costume pieces are, and how it looked kind of like he was "really sour" with his arms drawn up so tight when crossed.(never seen him in the idle center stance, just crossed arms and akimbo)
I guess I prove why this went unfixed. They didn't see a lot of others reporting it due to everybody not seeing it.
Whoops!

The female rig means his body's all compressed to a small area, and a lot of his parts are misaligned. His gloves floating next to his jacket sleeves, for example. The whole thing seems rather 'crunchy' while he performs his idle female animations and he looks uncomfortable at best.
