Since Crenshaw coined the term “intersectionality” in 1989, researchers of bias have struggled with how to capture the complexity and intricacies of intersectional identities and microaggressions experienced by individuals holding these identities within the quantitative framework that dominates psychology. Although scholarship has grown in the exploration of experiences such as racialized sexual harassment, or sexual racism within queer and trans communities, there is no strong consensus on how this might be measured systematically in ways that allow for inferences regarding the experiences of populations of interest. With an emphasis on the experiences of queer and trans people of color, this article explores intersectional identities through three main points: First, we define what is meant by intersectionality and the real-world experiences that are important for advancing an understanding of microaggressions; second, we review the existing measures and their ability to capture the breadth and depth of the lived experience of those with intersectional identities; and third, we propose a framework for the development of a more accurate and comprehensive measure of microaggressions.

自从 Crenshaw 在 1989 年创造了“交叉性”一词以来，偏见研究人员一直在努力研究如何在主导心理学的定量框架内捕捉拥有这些身份的个人所经历的交叉身份和微攻击的复杂性和错综复杂性。尽管学术界在探索诸如种族化性骚扰或酷儿和跨性别社区中的性种族主义等经验方面有所发展，但对于如何以允许对感兴趣人群的经历进行推断的方式系统地衡量这一点，尚无强烈共识。本文着重于有色人种的酷儿和跨性别者的经历，通过三个要点探讨了交叉身份：首先，我们定义了交叉性的含义以及对于促进对微攻击的理解很重要的现实世界经验；其次，我们回顾了现有措施及其捕捉具有交叉身份的人的生活经历的广度和深度的能力；第三，我们提出了一个框架，用于开发更准确和全面的微攻击测量。
