It will need a female torso to prevent it from looking like a pirate in drag!
I have some "male" pirate klickies that already look like girls IMO. In fact, one of the ghost pirate klickies in the 3-pack set already looks like a girl to me. The one with orange hair. Simply because of the hair.
But some pirates in general do sort of look like they ARE in drag, depending on how fancy they are. Some have long hair, powdered wigs, even white stockings (like Captain hook) with shiny brass buckles, and some even wear makeup, including powdered faces, blush, lipstick, and even in the case of Disney's Jack Sparrow--- EYELINER (aka "GUYliner,"). lol
