Trans Youth Are Significantly More Likely to Have an Eating Disorder | Broadly

Eating disorders are typically associated with cisgender women, but research shows that trans youth are four times more likely to suffer from them.

"Trans patients still often struggle with medical professionals who don't know how to address them, never mind to understand their condition and offer appropriate treatment. 'A lot of times, whenever I go to the doctor's office—and this is often true in ED treatment facilities—there's a lot of misgendering,' Maldonaldo tells Broadly. 'People are not really aware of how to speak with, interact with, and speak about my community. I think that's something that really needs to change.'"
