Customizable Pronouns First Look

I've probably missed it if it was mentioned, but is this a feature that only the player will control fully in CaS, or will the game hand out specific pronouns to townies and generated townies? Here's to hoping I won't have to choose pronouns every time I create a male or female Sim.

Not too keen on having it on display under my Sims names all the time, but I guess one'd get used to it after a while.
