I like it the way it is now. My only gripe is that (at least in my game) sims tend to get the they/them by default. I like to play rotationally, with premade sims, and it means going to CAS an assigning proper pronouns to every single sim I'm starting to play. It's nothing major, but I'd definitely like it if sims could still get default pronouns based on their frame. The option to change that is now there and... it is still more likely we will leave them than change them, right?
Also, the "get rid of binary completely" option... confuses me. I just... can't imagine how that would even work, so that's kind of a scary prospect.
The way that is supposed to work there would be more than just male or female. You could still have a sim be male or female but you would have the option to choose some degree of both male and female at the same time or choose to have no gender identity at all. The way the both option could work is the sim doesn't have a specified gender but leans towards one. Or a sim could be female but leans towards male but doesn't want to be labeled male. I that's how I understand it. It allows for that sim to represent a broad spectrum of gender expression instead of just the rigid either or, male or female definition.
