XF 1.2 Gender (unspecified) after vb4.2 import?

[Fred.]

Is it normal that Xenforo doesn't import the gender from vB 4.2?
All genders are (unspecified) now.

Can i force users to set there gender at the next login?

Yes, it's normal.

As for forcing, I think you may be able to with a query, but I'm not sure.

vB doesn't have a default gender field. You were probably using a custom user field... which is imported as such, but doesn't fill XF's gender field.

See this thread for a manual query which might help you:
