I think this is the case for this wiki, we are using sex and gender interchangeably, and as Edward pointed out all the known characters sex and gender are so far the same, so it is a bit of a moot point. Even if one character had a different sex or gender, I feel like we could just make a note on that characters page, and not even have to change the template. Another reason to use gender instead of sex, is because the word sex has many other meanings. The Pokemon series, for example, uses the word "gender" to identify the Pokemon's sex, probably so children don't go around saying "sex", which has much more baggage to it than "gender". Pokémon precisely is what makes me think that Gender is perfectly fine. I've been playing it all my life. A children's show wouldn't deal with this. I hope OUAT is above that. We're not talking about Once as a show, we're talking about us as a Wiki, and there's no need (yet) for the change from gender to sex. That simple.
