I didn't know whether to post this in the religion/philosophy board as it does cross over to there. But have chosen here because I think it so pertinent to the discussions on here.

In Buddhism, if I understand it correctly, sense of self, ego, is rejected. So where would that leave gender? Is it religious discrimination to insist on people disclosing a gender on forms etc?

Ah. Hmm. So it might or might not, I suppose....(?)
