Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tiffany understands her gender as being a girl, which reflects her gender identity. However, she does not understand that gender is a stable and permanent characteristic, which is the concept of gender constancy. Therefore, she has gender stability (knowing that she is a girl and expecting to be a girl tomorrow) but not gender constancy (not understanding that gender is a permanent characteristic).
