I agree with changing it.

Regardless of whether or not it's a technicality or too much effort or whatever the reason, none of the reasons people are disagreeing with this really make sense (to me at least), because it's as simple as "sex" being correct and "gender" not being correct.

There's no PC-ness either, it's not about transgender characters or anything like that, there's no reason to bring those things into the discussion when they're irrelevant, it's as simple as "sex" being the correct word and "gender" not being the correct word.

If we want to be a wiki that boasts accuracy and precision with things, then we should want to change that, especially considering, as someone pointed out, that our namesake, wikipedia, recognizes the difference (or at least, using wikipedia as an example as a big website that recognizes the difference).

Those're my two (hundred) cents.
