Can I get rightfully reported for asking the gender of my listener before venting?

If my interaction goes like this. "Hello! What's on your mind?" "M or F?" "I'm a male." *disconnect* I report them. If they are polite about it, I don't.

I have been asked my gender by some venters before and every time I'm a little worried that it's someone taking advantage of the system, but I tell them anyway because I know that sometimes people are simply more comfortable talking to people of certain genders. Also that if they do try anything in poor taste I can easily report them, but I'm not going to report them just for asking my gender. Even with the anonymity provided it can still make some people nervous and they would feel better knowing they are talking to someone of a certain gender. In order to show that you are serious maybe try leading with something like "Hi, I would be more comfortable talking to a -insert gender here-" or "Hi, I would rather talk to a -insert gender here- about my problem because I think they would better be able to help and it would make me more comfortable." If they answer with a gender you would rather not talk to instead of just disconnecting I would say something like "I'm sorry, I'm not comfortable talking to you about this, thank you anyway." This way you come across as polite and serious. All in all I wouldn't worry so much about the gender of your listener. Regardless of their gender they will try to help you and if their gender prohibits them from being able to help you in any way hopefully they will tell you. However I do definitely understand why some people would want to talk to someone of a certain gender and I wish you the best of luck.

The intended function of the anonymous chat is precisely that; anonymity. The gender, age employment history, height, or any other arbitrary criteria about the Listener is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is the quality of their advice.

So no, you should not get reported for asking for gender, but it is a better idea to not worry yourself with the gender of your Listener, because in doing so, you are entering the conversation with a preconceived notion that the Listener will not understand if they are "x".

It does say you will be flagged if you ask their age or some crap like that. People ask me my age all the time before they vent. Depending how they are towards me, I give it to them or dont. I even had o one guy ask me if I was from the us before he wanted to vent. Freakin weird. Apparently if youre from anywhere in the world other than america, you have cooties or something. Don't sweat it though, they were probably just bluffing and being stupid. Youll be aight. Dont swet the small stuff home slice, just find another listener.

It depends on how you do it. If you just type "m/f?" or "A/S/L?", and then left when I say 'Male', I would report you, just in case you harass other people and they report you too, because you look like you are not serious. If you type something like, "Hey I need to talk with a woman for my problem, are you one?" I wouldn't report you and I think other people would understand too.

most of the time, when people ask about my gender and i say i am a male, i get abruptly disconnected, i wish venters who are looking for specific listeners would be a bit more polite in telling the listener that they dont meet the criteria the venter needs to vent

Exactly
