There is rapidly growing interest in understanding the impacts of structural cisgenderism on health and health inequities for transgender and nonbinary populations. This growing interest has led to an influx of novel measures of structural cisgenderism. In this commentary, we discuss and identify gaps in existing measures and offer considerations for the development of future measures. Developing and utilizing valid measures of structural cisgenderism is crucial to quantify its impacts on health and health inequities, and to inform public health interventions, laws, and policies to eliminate gender identity and modality-based health inequities.
