Gender, Religion, and Sexuality
Buddhism
What is self? Buddhists believe form is empty and emptiness is form. They also believe in no self-arisen phenomena. For example, they don't think it's possible to separate themselves from their surroundings.
What is gender? If you are a woman, you must become a man in order to become a Buddha. You can either be reborn with a physically male body and then born again into the body of a Buddha, or can self‐elect to spontaneously change her sex in a show of her own magical prowess and then straightaway advance to Buddhahood.
What is liberation? Going into liberation, Buddhists believe you leave the cycle of rebirth. They change their habits and focus on interdependence. Liberation is the "end"of Buddhism. It teaches awakening, realization, enlightenment, and nirvana.
