Transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people face unique challenges related to body image and eating disorders due to societal expectations and standards related to gender identity and presentation. These expectations can lead to feelings of gender dysphoria, which can, in turn, contribute to negative body image and disordered eating behaviors. Not to mention, systemic oppression is a form of ongoing trauma that significantly increases the risk of eating disorders as well as other mental health conditions.
