(Apologies for chiming in late on this point....) From the discussion of Gender V Sex [1], my preference would be to stick to Gender. I think the main difference is that Sex is more of a biological property and Gender more a cultural-societal property (see [2] for a discussion)...and hence, Gender is more aligned with vCard's context.
