Actually, it depends on what you think you are referring to. Around here,
we use "sex" to talk about the biological continuum, and "gender" to talk
about the sociological one. But I wouldn't insist that people use those
distinctions. And there is also another trend where people use them
interchangeably, and are starting to lean towards "gender" as the
preferred word.
