Along the same lines as the APA, I consider the word "sex" to be
appropriate when you mean "male" or "female," and "gender" to be
appropriate when you mean "masculine" or "feminine."
Sexual orientation is another thing entirely. In some cultures (as has
been pointed out), it might be _gender_-appropriate for same-_sex_
individuals to hold hands, and yet that may have nothing to do with
sexual orientation.
