I really have no clue about the 15th but i have been inspired to see her as female for years.

However, it is obviosu that tibet is still too sexist in its conditions as an institution to allow for the power to nuns in raising the next tibetan leader.

I really doubt any old monks powerful would allow nuns full control of a female dalai lama rebirth's full education.

And this is how it should be truly.

so i am betting the next dalai lama is also male. Just because of society in tibet and india. and religion generally.
