Statements
Eating disorders (EDs) have been traditionally viewed as a disorder affecting cisgender, heterosexual women. (English)
Yet, the prevalence of EDs among queer and trans (QnT) individuals, coupled with the lack of interventions that attend to contextual factors related to sexual orientation and gender identity, underscore a critical health disparity issue requiring urgent attention. (English)
Here, we first review factors pertaining to QnT individuals' minoritized sexual and gender identities that are important to consider in ED conceptualization for this population (e.g., minority stressors, identity-based body image standards). (English)
Next, we describe problematic assumptions present in existing ED assessment and propose more inclusive approaches. (English)
Lastly, we provide suggestions for practices that providers can implement within their treatment of EDs among QnT individuals. (English)
