Custom Sims can choose between masculine or feminine frames, choose to be allowed into areas locked to one sex or either of the two sexes (like bathrooms and gender doors), and choose any of their CAS gender settings.
Gendered animations like the "sexy pose" interaction could even be replaced with animations designed specifically for Custom Sims. These types of animations would either be undifferentiated and not draw from traditional gender archetypes, or Custom Sims could have their own gendered archetype and animations (which could be decided on by the LGBTIQ+ community).
I feel like I could improve upon this idea; please let me know what you all think.
