Gender has until recently been a synonym for sex. If you are referring to gender identity, then use that term.

I don't know if I would say recently, this distinction started becoming used in the early 60s which was almost 60 years ago.

Gender was used synonymously with sex before the differences between the things known as ascribed gender, gender identity, and sex were identified and became things that needed distinct labels.
