Sorry about that, Dude. 
Asking about genders is absolutely allowed and nowadays, almost practical. To give a little background info... I know I often talk about things such as, "the old system" -- I've been on CC since 2009 (though there are a some members who have been here far longer) and have seen it change formats about 3 times that I can remember (and if this is inaccurate, all the old timers here are free to correct me.)
Each time there is an update, we lose some features and gain others. In "the old system", male member's names were in blue, and female members were in pink (though of course, people weren't always honest about their gender, but, that's the internet, not CC.)
I've seen many times in the threads where people were told to look up someone's profile to find out what gender they are but that doesn't always work either. This new system allows people to be more selective about who can see their profile so they might not have it set for everyone to see.
I'd like to think that the Singles forum is easy-going enough to not get offended if someone asks whether we're a guy or a girl, and if anyone does get offended, well... We'll work on that.
Contrary to what some believe, lol, I actually do have a life outside of CC, so if I don't answer right away, feel free to ask again or PM me if you're able because I'm either busy with "REAL LIFE" (oh, the horror!!! ) or it's very possible that I might have missed your post -- and not on purpose. For some reason, this new system doesn't always alert me when there are new posts on the threads I'm watching.
Unfortunately, I'm not CC Bot and can't be here watching and responding all the time.
And, there's absolutely no reason to apologize for asking about asking people what gender they are. It was actually a very helpful question, so thank you for taking the time to ask (I hope everyone will feel free to ask their questions in these threads.)
We have a very collective, knowledgeable group, so one of my goals in writing these discussions is to hopefully help share what we know or have experienced, whether it's about CC or any other area of life.
