Abstract
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people experience significant health care disparities, including a higher prevalence of eating disorders (EDs). This study surveyed 55 TGD patients' experiences with disordered eating at a single academic center and their ability to access nutritional, exercise, and mental health services. Most participants reported a desire for but lack of access to these services. Almost 50% expressed concern about having an ED that was untreated. Services were also harder to access for nonbinary people. These results show the need for comprehensive ED programs with special attention to the needs of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people.
