Translation seems like one of the major issues!
So far, sex and gender are not distinguished as far as I can tell.

I wonder if that's a translation issue. English Wikipedia is mostly concerned with gender, but other languages might only consider sex, or use the same word for both concepts.

Interestingly, Wikidata only allows assigning a 'sex' to a person, not a 'gender'.
