The way I interpreted the phrase 'remove binary' was to remove the restriction to just male or female. I'm reading that based on the dictionary definition of binary, something consisting of two parts. I can't speak for the OP's thoughts, but that's how I read and interpret it, we'll still have the male and female options but more besides.
I see... but then again, isn't there just about limitless number of options? They would have to come up with some way to decide which ones to add and which ones not to and someone would inevitably feel left out. :(
Unless... do we really need a button to determine a sim's gender at all? Do we really have to label our sims like that? What if the gender expression was left to the customization options, describing not what a sim is, but how what they are affects them. How it actually shows. Because what goes on in our sim's head is completely up to us and shouldn't be dictated by some UI anyway, right? :D
And how do I propose a gender label be removed entirely without making a hot mess out of the game mechanics? Easy. Just rename the main binary button "frame" and be done with the whole thing.
