Symfony2 how to generate a form for an entity with a select and empty value?

I search, I search but I don't find...

I've got an entity Agent and an entity Gender, in Entity/Agent.php :

  /**
   * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="AcNice\ASPBundle\Entity\Gender")
   * @ORM\JoinColumn(nullable=true)
   */
  private $gender;

Gender can be null. In Form/AgentType.php, I've got :

$builder
  ->add('gender',              'entity',   array(
      "class" => "AcNiceASPBundle:Gender",
      "property" => "name",
      'empty_value' => "Choose your gender",
      //"empty_data" => null,
      'required' => false,
      "expanded" => false))

I've read the doc http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/entity.html, I see if I change "expanded" to true, I've got my "Choose your gender" as checkbox, but I really want a select (for entities nullable with much more choices).

Does someone have a clue ? Pleaaaaase ;-) Thanks.

If you are using version >= Symfony 2.6, you should use placeholder option instead of empty_value.
