Yeah! I never ask for gender, because I usually assume that the person will tell me if they think it matters, and otherwise I just assume it's a non-issue.
Which sort of leads me into my next pet peeve... Actually, it's more of just a feeling, I guess, especially with readers online; it almost seems like they're doing this just because they feel they have to. This is probably more with people who give readings for free, like here in the exchange forum, but sometimes it just seems like the reader makes the reading feel like a chore. And if the reading feels like a chore, then the readings are generally short and not that good, and that's no fun for anyone!
I guess maybe feel like they have to be super immersed in tarot and be doing readings all the time to be a "real tarot reader"? I used to feel like that when I first started, but now I've realized that that's just not true. So yeah, just people who seem like they don't care about a reading, I guess is what I'm trying to say. I'm rambling a bit now! o wo
