The default is female pregnancy male impregnation. The sims in your towns won't have the option to go for male pregnancy unless you change it. I'd mostly suggest just not using the option OP. Leave it for those who like it!
It makes me very happy to know that it can be changed on an individual sim basis so that I can have one male be able to get preggers and the neighbor not be able to, or one female be able to make someone pregnant but not necessarily her other family members.
Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.
I wish there was a way to disable this new feature, to be honest.
Trans people don't identify as "women who pee standing up", or "men who wear dresses", they identify as women. And as men.
Why create a pre-op selfsim with mismatched features of both sexes, when they could create a post-op sim who has all the biological functions of the sex they've transitioned to?
Besides, I'm on another Sims board, and literally the first random townie shows up in a dress.
Disabled for random generation, indeed.
Huh, I did wonder if there would be a blip or not.
I haven't noticed any townies like that myself yet, but since EA themselves said that townies shouldn't generate this way I can see them patching this if it is an issue.
Makes me wonder, which part did they mean wouldn't get generate? The masculine/feminist? The clothing? All of it? Did they actually say which part exactly? o.O

I'm wondering that too now.
In context it sounded more like it related to the gender / pregnancy settings rather than the clothing but considering they actually gave us the ability to choose this time instead of just forcing random gender settings on players it I'd be surprised if the clothing was intentionally left unchecked.

You say you are 'on another board', suggesting that this is not an image from your personal game but you got it off another forum? Are you sure the other person wasn't joking around?
If this is true and townies really are spawning with the features, then I'm sure we would hear about more of them.

I'm hoping it is / was supposed to but something got missed before the patch went live.
Otherwise it's two steps forward and one step backwards for EA.
Hopefully if this is a recurring issue and not just a random game blip enough attention will get drawn to it for EA to fix it. People shouldn't be forced to have to actively deal with content they don't want.

Some people don't go "all the way" and some don't identify as a woman or a man. Maybe they got top surgery, but still have a uterus. They can be a "male" sim, but get pregnant and can't pee standing up. Maybe they can't get pregnant or get anyone else pregnant because they don't have a uterus or 🐸🐸🐸🐸. This way allows much more customization and more closely matches a trans experience than just making a man for a trans man. Plus, the "feminine/masculine body shape" option allows for a more or less obvious trans sim than just making a man or a woman.
As with any new feature, there are gonna be those who like it and those who don't. We're all entitled to feel how we feel but maybe this should be moved to the feedback section?

All I know, is that if I were F.T.M, I would make self-Sims that were biologically female, since that's the gender I would identify as.
I wouldn't want to reminded of the body I was born in, I would want to be in body I was born to have.
Honestly, there's a lot of people weighing in on this, but I'm yet to hear anything from an actual trans person.

I knew it! Never trust maxis when it comes to the "disallowed for random" things. Just like the clothes in Sims 3, that plum bride veil!

Like I said, not everyone is "full" trans. Genderqueer, agender, demiboy/girl, etc - this way, the new functionality includes those, too. And, as a genderqueer person, I am loving this patch.

I believe you either meant to say MtF or that the sim would be biologically male. FtM is someone who identifies as male and would be more likely to make a biologically male sim.

If it means that much to you, I guess I'll say something. I was biologically born male but I identify as female, and am planning on future surgeries (there's literally a waiting list, lol). You never know who is trans. Heck, one of the SimGurus could be! We're shadow-people, lurking behind the screens...lol!
I digress. This update is awesome. Even though if I were to make a simself, I would just make them biologically female because that is what I see myself as, it isn't just trans people this update is directed towards. It is towards self expression in general. People (or rather sims in this instance) of all genders and orientations can wear whatever they want, style their hair however they want and play the game however they want.This was an amazing patch that just allows even more freedom for your sims. I seriously don't get how all of these conservative simmers are causing such a stink about not wanting it in their games, when same-sex sims have been in their games for YEARS. But that's just my own opinion. I probably won't use the gender options a whole lot, maybe for the masculine and feminine bodies.
P.S - I truly was not expecting this from a large company, but seeing such tells us the good things to come from hopefully other companies, and the world as a whole. Soon gender roles and gendered clothes, hairstyles etc won't exist and we have games like these to thank. What I mean by that is, believe or not the majority of players for the sims games are children or young preteens. They're going to play these games and understand it is okay to do whatever you want in order to be happy. I am so greatful they have done this.

I started my transition from female to male 3 years ago, and I'm not going to make the operations since I'm ok with my body this way, just the changes made by testosterone. I never make myself as a Sims but if I had to, I would make a male, period. I couldn't care less for this patch but still, I'm only one. If people wants to play with someone like me let it be... I play with someone like them since the Sims 2
I am re-opening this thread with the caveat that everyone be respectful towards each other. The discussion in here has been respectful of each others opinions (for the most part but we are watching) so please keep it that way.
Additionally: The team spent a lot of time trying to make sure that Townies would not be affected, as this was a very big endeavor we ask that if you do happen to see a Townie wearing clothing of the opposite gender please ping myself @SimGuruArvin@SimGuruNick or @SimQARobo. I'm not familiar with the particular dress shown in the image in this thread but please first make sure it is not CC before reporting it.
I thought maybe my females could get alien pregnant by abduction now - no such luck that I have seen hehe - so the male pregnancy doesn't really effect me except when they get abducted...hmmm ( @SimGuruDrake )does that mean I can turn off alien pregnancy for all my males now if I dont want anymore? They seem to only choose the very sims I dont want getting pregnant at the moment - or is this just for sim to sim pregnancy via try for a baby?
As an aside I am loving the amount of new clothes for my female sims; nice fitting loose pants are all the rage in my game as of today. I might start playing more females now, right after I make an 80s hair band.
I for one, love it, because now my s/s couples can breed and I don't have to randomize my luck with adoption kids who may or may not turn out nice or not.
As far as realness, ignoring the whole "you don't have to have a wimpy-unicorn-horn to be a man" aspect, this is a game where you visit aliens, get abducted/impregnated by aliens, and also can grow your own cowplant that you can sacrifice your neighbors to and drink their life essence.

It makes me very happy to know that it can be changed on an individual sim basis so that I can have one male be able to get preggers and the neighbor not be able to, or one female be able to make someone pregnant but not necessarily her other family members.
