Myth: “When studying eating disorders, examining LGBTQ+ individuals as one category is adequate.”
Let’s stop spinning the facts: There is much diversity within the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to eating disorder presentation. Whenever possible, studies should examine le***an, gay, bisexual, questioning and other sexual/gender identities separately (rather than combining into one category).
For a deeper dive into eating disorder outcomes for patients of various sexual identities, visit our published article here: http://ow.ly/JFhb50MSxk2
Myth: “Eating disorders only impact white, straight, cisgender girls and women.”
Let’s stop spinning the facts: Likely due to discrimination, oppression and marginalization within our society and, specifically, within the healthcare system, eating disorder patients who identified as LGBTQ+ were found to have more severe symptoms than straight, cisgender patients.
