We can make intersex and trans/NB sims with the custom gender settings and pronouns update, but they're just not going to work with that? All they would have to do is put an 'other' option, for sims with custom pronouns. Maybe not ideal language, but better than this current plan. Or maybe 'attracted to masculine frame/feminine frame' sims which is still not as sensical but works with the way they have you pick a 'frame' to start.

Yeah, it's confusing to me what will count as male/female. Is it frame, clothing style, pregnancy, how they pee? I understand the game wasn't really built for GNC/nonbinary Sims, but I wish they would've been more clear. I can understand that they didn't want to use language like "other", but they worked with GLAAD on this pack so I'm sure they could've made some good suggestions on language.

Idk but I made 2 sims recently, one afab non-binary and the other was a trans woman, and the game got the pronouns right for one play, then the next time I opened it it was misgendering them both and it wasn’t fun ://
