Pretty much, "Gender" was used originally simply because it was the template. We later added "Sex" so we'd have another trait as necessary.

In terms of the majority of the characters, the two terms are pretty interchangeable. I suppose I don't have any issue if folks want to just make "Sex" the default trait and use "Gender" as the special trait.

The only caution I give is that we currently have 239 Character Pages, of which only four wouldn't need to be changed. So that would be a fairly hefty undertaking, should we decide to switch things.
