i sure do!
i'm trans IRL (nonbinary, personally) and almost all of my OCs and such are trans, it's just... what i'm used to. the same way most cisgender heterosexual people make characters that are like them, i make characters that are like me!
i tend to prefer to make my trans sims unassuming other than how they pee (or if they can get pregnant, but yknow). though i do take a lot of care on face shapes and general body shape. that's just what i prefer - i would personally like to appear however i identify, and noone would be able to tell unless i told 'em. (though i do use cc eyelashes on every sim i ever make.......)
so for trans male/masculine characters : male > masc/fem frame (depending, i usually use masc but tweak it a lot) > pee sitting down > can get pregnant
and for trans female/feminine characters: female > usually use fem frame > pee standing up > can get others pregnant
i play a lot of LGBT couples, one i'm playing on at the moment are a cisgender guy and his trans guy husband. they have three kids, and i'm considering a fourth. it's a very good way for me to achieve biological families between characters who identify as the same gender! even back in previous games/before the gender patch, i would have characters who were "female" but i edited them enough they looked like male sims. but the gender patch definitely made it easier and more accurate, and made TS4 much more enjoyable for me, and for my trans friends!
i am glad that is a feature that you can easily ignore though, so that there is no ill will between LGBT and non-LGBT simmers. just having the tools there if you want to use them is kind of what The Sims is about, imo!
