Gender Development
The process of finding or categorizing one's own identity within or outside of the gender binary. This involves multiple factors, including consolidating one's identity with one's biological sex, one's role in the immediate microsystem, or even the stereotypes one faces. This process often occurs in childhood through adolescence, but can be a lifelong journey.

Two developmental psychologists are observing a child's progress in learning to walk. Psychologist A argues, 'The child's ability is improving bit by bit each day; yesterday they could barely stand, and today they took a wobbly step. It's a slow, steady process.' Psychologist B counters, 'I disagree. The child is not just getting 'better' at standing. They have now moved into a completely new phase of mobility, which is fundamentally different from the crawling phase.' What is the fundamental disagreement between these two psychologists?
