520 |a The article presents some findings about the sex(uality) and gender of men and women respectively who decide to join the Buddhist order - the Sangha. Renunciation of the worldly and adoption of the monastic disci-pline initiates a transformative process, creating new identities. The mo-nastic discipline notably transcends the worldly normative male and fe-male gender and substitutes it with a new gender identity. This new identity is signified as the sangha gender, which can in fact be defined as an asexual male gender. While for the male, renunciation is the end to his sexuality and the adoption of an alternate normative (even ideal) male identity, women who join the Sangha do not only reject sexual practices and any normative female gender role but are in fact expected to transform their biological sex and become male.
