good question...
Bivalves are typically gonochoristic (having separate male and female individuals), fertilization is external, and the developing larva (veliger) settles to the bottom after a time in the plankton.

No. They have sexes.
Sex = biological characteristic of being male or female.
Gender = social idea about how males or females should act and dress.
Unless you've seen a clam wearing high heels and lipstick, they don't have genders.
