Gender microaggressions are everyday assaults, insults, or invalidations that occur towards persons with marginalized gender identities (including trans/cis women, trans men, and nonbinary persons). As music therapy spaces are microcosms for larger sociopolitical contexts, music therapists are prone to enacting microaggressions verbally, non-verbally, and musically. In this narrative inquiry, semi-structured interviews occurred with eight participant music therapists to examine their experiences of gender microaggressions in music therapy. Results demonstrated that gender microaggressions manifest in a variety of ways and enactors include music therapy colleagues, presenters, internship directors, educators, and clients. Five themes were found: qualities of microaggressions, impact of incident, survival tactics, interpersonal dynamics, and gender in music therapy, with a total of 33 sub-themes. From these findings, it is clear that there is a need for music therapists to develop greater awareness of ways in which they enact gender microaggressions and to create more spaces for music therapists with marginalized gender identities to process these incidents.

性别微侵害是对性别边缘化人群（包括跨性别/顺势女性，跨性别男人和非二元性人群）的日常攻击，侮辱或致残。由于音乐治疗空间是较大的社会政治环境的缩影，因此音乐治疗师倾向于通过口头，非口头和音乐方式进行微侵略。在这个叙述性探究中，与八名参与者的音乐治疗师进行了半结构化访谈，以考察他们在音乐治疗中对性别微侵略的经历。结果表明，性别微侵略以多种方式表现出来，包括音乐治疗的同事，主持人，实习主管，教育者和客户在内的表演者也很多。发现了五个主题：微攻击的质量，事件的影响，生存策略，人际动态，音乐治疗中的性别和性别，共有33个子主题。根据这些发现，很明显，音乐治疗师需要提高对他们实施性别微侵略的方式的认识，并为边缘化性别认同的音乐治疗师创造更多的空间来处理这些事件。
