Tao has no gender. Tao, meaning "way" or "path" is,
metaphorically speaking, merely the road upon which one travels in
the pursuit of wisdom and understanding. The famous symbol of the
"Yin and Yang" is a depiction of the Tao, showing that balance and
equilibrium are of paramount importance. But Lao Tzu also wrote
"The Tao which can be spoken is not the Tao. The Tao which can
be written is not the Tao"
