@Liebeslottchen That's the profanity filter kicking in. Don't worry too much about it, it doesn't always make sense.
I also wish they would add body hair, but I agree with @CAPTAIN_NXR7 that it's just one of the many things we want. Whatever you or I think about pronouns, they're important to a lot of people. Their request to have them in game is just as valid as ours for body hair.

We’re able to mold our Sims into something quite unique and when we’re offered almost ALL of the tools to create a Sim Self, we begin to ask for assets that will help us finally build a complete digital version of ourselves: More Skintones. Presets. Pronouns. Natural hair colours. Bodyhair. Piercings. Skin conditions. Heightsliders. etc.
@CAPTAIN_NXR7 I agree with that. This is already happening. I recently watched a video I think by Buzzfeed about CC and if it easier to represent your self with CC or just the game. I think the result is obvious the CC won but while these people were making their sims I noticed several of them started complaining about how they cannot make eyebrows that represent them.
I was really baffled cause there are a lot of eyebrow options and you can still click and drag to customize them to look more like you, yet these people were still saying "Oh the game has terrible eyebrows. It's a struggle to feel represented with these eyebrow presets".
I thought that was really weird 'cause they were complaining about such small details. I mean there are games out there with character customization that has only 5 hairstyles and 3 noses. And these people are complaing about the eyebrows having five too many hairs. People are now reaching to find ways to feel "unrepresented" and complain about the bigotry of not including an eyebrow shape that looks 100% like their own.
Back in TS3, all sims had pudding faces and TS2 only had a very limited set of sliders. We had to make eye-shapes out of six vertices. Good luck with that. And in TS1 you could only select a head and a body. Can you imagine if anyone had asked Maxis to model a head that looked like their own? That's silly, right?
In TS4, a lot more is possible. Plus, there's twitter to scream at the devs. "More eyebrows plz!"
But the funny thing is, they never intended for TS4 to be good at representation. They made the sims very cartoony from the start, it was a deliberate decision to keep them from becoming too realistic. Which, I guess that would explain why it was lacking so much and why there were only a handful of skin tones, for instance.
