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.

An interesting blog post about sex ratio data from Wikipedia and Wikidata: http://hangingtogether.org/?p=2877
Interestingly, Wikidata only allows assigning a 'sex' to a person, not a 'gender'.
