The impact of gender-affirming interventions on eating disorder diagnosis risk among transgender and gender-diverse individuals

After undergoing gender-affirming medical therapy, the risk of eating disorder diagnosis increases for transfeminine individuals and decreases for transmasculine individuals. The observed differences in risk between transfeminine and transmasculine individuals on GAMT may be attributed to factors such as gendered societal norms, variations in screening practices, and the physiological effects of hormone therapy on eating disorder symptomatology. Further research is needed to clarify these influences and support tailored interventions.
