Which Buddhist traditions have no gender divisions at all
score:4
Are you asking about a tradition or a community? If the latter, there are many. Most of the "insight meditation" communities, e.g. IRC, Spirit Rock, IMS etc in the US are sex- unsegregated. But if you ask about the Theravada tradition that these communities trace their lineage to, usually in the original country (MMY, SLK, THA etc), there is a separation in the seating in the meditation hall.
However, there are many religious activities that are not segregated - families often do them together - e.g., food donation and other donation at monasteries, meeting monks for advice or to pay respects and volunteer work of various sorts.

Our branch of Rinzai Zen has no gender division other than that we segregate by sex when bunking up for sesshin. I can’t think of too many Buddhist communities in the US that would even consider that, quite frankly. I think the group you’re with would be the exception in the West, at least.
