About your edits to the Combine Worker article[edit]
You have twice undone my edits to the Combine Worker article to change the caption of the Worker to use "their" instead of "his". As I mentioned in my edit summary, I have already greatly examined the Combine unit variations, and unlike the Combine Hazmat Worker, the Combine Worker does not have a female variation. Contrary to your claim, though, the absence of a female Combine Worker does not imply that the gender of the one available worker is ambiguous. That simply means the game lacks a female version of the Combine Worker. Suggesting that the Combine Worker we do have is therefore ambiguous in gender is unfounded speculation.
However, this is all ultimately moot in light of examination of the Combine Worker model itself. The name of the model is "worker_m_helmet.vmdl". The "m" is obviously the code for "male", as also used by other models and material names (namely assets pertaining to male Citizens). However, if that wasn't evidence enough, I checked the internals of the file to see the original uncompiled name of the model as imported from Maya, and that ended up being "models/characters/workers/maya/workers_male_model.ma". This is conclusive and unambiguous confirmation that the Combine Worker is male. Marphy (talk) 15:49, 15 April 2020 (MSK)
