Dying to be (A)Gendered: An Exploratory Content Analysis of Trans/Nonbinary People’s Experiences with Eating Disorders

Recent studies have found trans individuals to experience high rates of eating disorders. Prior studies have mixed findings of eating disorder rates of trans/nonbinary people with eating disorders.

Content analysis of these blogs and vlogs serve as an exploratory analysis to provide suggestions for future research, including: institutional cisnormativity in eating disorder treatment, the use of eating disorders as a way of coping with the anxieties of doing gender in a binary society, and the relations of body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria.
