The "empty element" gives you the opportunity to leave the field empty. If you need to insert a default value in the field you can use:

_defaluts = {
  'field_name' : 'default_value',
}

or you can set the field as required so the user are forced to select a voice in the selection to save the recvord.

I used default value. Its working fine form loading with default value but in the drop down empty options also shown. How to remove empty options completely and in the selection shows only two options. (male, female) Thanks for your help

As Prakash says, the default not removes empty option from selection field. I think this answer not resolve the question asked. I think the empty option should be removed after user selects as required field, but is not happens yet.
