According to the Abhidhamma gender distinction is there in every part of the corporeal structure. In Buddhism illusion is used if the meaning breaks down at a lower level of abstraction, but in this case, gender is there to the most basic material composition, hence not an illusion. This is more on how you define illusion is.
If you have any view, perception about gender this is illusionary as it it is constituted by Citta and Cetasika.
Gender does decay and has the potential to change from birth to birth.
