Is it hard to determine where "s ex" ends and "gender" begins?

" ... men have extremely delicate testicles-- a biological fact. Thus, it is "sex". However, because society expects men to dominate women and other men, it ascribes great strength to that fragile part of the anatomy. When people says, "Stop being a wimp and show some real balls", they’re "doing gender". Likewise for women, the clitoris is a part of the female anatomy--a biological fact. The sole purpose of the clitoris is sexual pleasure--another biological fact. But because society expects women to be subordinate to men, it will either "do gender" by performing female genital mutilation (as practiced in many Muslim countries) or it will act like the clitoris doesn’t generate "real" orgasms (as believed in the "progressive" Western nations). Obviously, issues of sex and gender can get quite complex. Sometimes, it’s hard to determine where "sex" ends and "gender" begins. Nevertheless, it’s a useful tool for understanding how society constructs masculinity and femininity."
