title: Magento: Getting the Value of an EAV Attribute Option/Select
body: <p>I Have an object of Mage_Customer_Model_Customer and ran the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$customer-&gt;loadByEmail($customer-&gt;getEmail());
  $customer-&gt;getGender();  //returns the EAV attribute option_id's of 1 or 2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to get the eav_attribute_option_value.value of those option_id's which is the word "Male" or the word "Female"</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure how to do this and spent quite a bit of time debugging the account form select widget with no success.  I am also curious on how you figured this out.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
  
  <p>Sincerly,
  Tired Dev</p>
