Hey, The Sims Team!
You are going to get a large push for L.G.B.T.Q. Representation, but, you and your team are doing great already. The point of listing every difference will not come off as inclusion. You've made no difference between husband and husband, wife and husband, haven't even spoken a preference word. You haven't made any preference come off as the "default" to sims either. You've made 100% no difference between any body, and this is progressive, already!
Directly, please do not put different options for transgender sims. I make effort to understand transgender, my brother is openly this F.T.M. But me and him do not like seeing trans male or trans female, it is male and female, even when you are transgender. I've read and heard it can make transgender people feel bad to see they are not referred to as "real" male or female. You've already allowed for a sim to change their gender, body, and fertility to however this player feels. What you've done so far is perfect, please keep this the way you've already put.
NOTE: Don't know enough about non binary to have an opinion on what should and shouldn't be put, so please let me know in replies if you are knowledgeable. They pro nouns sound O.K. So I am not talking about removing this idea.
