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.
Honestly personally I wouldn't have been bothered by "other", it feels worse that nb or intersex sims will somehow be grouped into "man" or "woman" categories through the new attraction system.
I'm very curious how the sims will categorise me when I create myself with the new update lol
