We add to the research on gender microaggression theory by adapting the existing threefold taxonomy thus integrating some of the conceptual concerns raised by scholars in the past (e.g., regarding the microassault factor, Lilienfeld, 2017). Preliminary analyses revealed that microinvalidations, microinsults, and the total scale gender microaggressions was only slightly non-normally distributed (microinvalidations: skew = 0.37, kurtosis = 0.74; microinsults: skew = 0.96, kurtosis = 0.32 and total scale: skew = 0.58, kurtosis = 0.37).

Integrating theory and results from the interviews, we generated an initial item pool of 102 items reflecting the microaggression subfacets microinsults and microinvalidations (Sue et al., 2007). Microinsult This form of microaggression is a bit subtler. The algorithm creates an initial population by randomly generating a predefined number (typically 100200 individuals) of chromosomes from the original item pool, thereby ensuring variability (Yarkoni, 2010).
