As for the question it may only be an issue if it’s a mind set that views people, or vampires in this case not as people/vampires, but as objects of curiosity based on being unable to tell their gender, as if that mattered.

Always nice to try good new things, when we see characters like Basteya have a go at considering them not on their appearance but on their actions just like everyone else. Basteya is strong, in with the Hyakuya Sect, aware of Crowley, Ferid and somewhat reluctantly following Saito. Those are the interesting topics better for discussing, not ignoring all those to focus on like "I can't tell what their skin colour is, what their gender is" - just not important whatsoever and usually only asked with a certain expectation in mind. Not saying you or anyone done this yet discussing their actions is probably better than kind of gawping at them wondering what their gender is as if they were some type of zoo animal rather than an actual person with thoughts if that makes sense.

Still like Asuramaru, Shinoa, Guren, every character we don’t wonder about personal things which might come across as a bit disrespectful, rather try and learn what their motives are in the increasingly winding plot of the story! On that, Chapter 80 is best for discussing the latest happenings! Lol why does it matter so much that you've got to write paragraphs about it? Many people just want to know what pronouns to call them. If you wanna start a conversation about Basteya that's about one of those other topics you mentioned then you could just start a discussion thread of your own, no need to invalidate other people's questions.
