Actuall, they are interchangeable. From the American Heritage Dictionary:

3. a. The condition of being female or male; sex.
    b. Females or males considered as a group: expressions used by one gender.

In reply to the question, its obviously both.
My OED disagrees.  And the OED is the only authority on English.  It may have started to become more acceptable, but that is no excuse for bad English.
