The "genderless clothing" system needs a whole overhaul. Feminine tops have shadows on the chest which makes them look wrong on male/masculine flat-chested Sims. Feminine bottoms and dresses often give male/masculine body sims a weird bulge at the groin. Masculine bottoms often give female/feminine body sims a concave dip at the groin, and the pants often sit way too low and sag down. Hairstyles and beards transferred to the 'other' gender still have mesh issues, especially hair and beards on feminine-framed men, and long hairs on masculine-framed women. Makes a lot of it unusable, unfortunately.
The expanded gender options was such a good thing to add, but has been severely neglected which makes it difficult to use. Male Sims with feminine body shape also need to have their proportions changed - they always have long, thin giraffe necks. Masculine-frame female Sims are always a little too bulky around the shoulders, chest and neck. Every 'genderless' item of clothing and hairstyle needs to be checked for how it looks on the 'other' body shape. In particular, the chest area and groin area.
I know that pronouns/non-binary Sims is something you're looking into as a team already, and is sorely needed (would love a 'neutral' body shape that sits somewhere between the two gendered options, and a 'both' fashion preference, as well as pronouns), but there is a lot more to be fixed before we can truly say The Sims 4 supports diverse gender identity/expression. Not sure if this will be censored, but also a breast on/off toggle would be great. (In case of censoring, I said a mammary toggle).
