    I don't think that's the intended purpose of the change. It's not being changed to dissociate the meaning of words, it's just a minor detail that ultimately means nothing to anybody, has absolutely zero (relevant) downsides and only the potential upside of making the game feel more welcoming to all walks of life.

    I just described a potential downside in "ranking" certain bodytypes by numbers among many players.
    Those players in turn would then feel even more disadvantaged than having a body type described as more feminine or masculine to begin with.

    Words and numbers always carry more strictly-defined meaning than pictures, whether we like it or not.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
