Transgender clients' experiences of eating disorder treatment.
The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of transgender individuals with eating disorders (EDs) and their related ED treatments. An online questionnaire was administered to 84 transgender individuals with EDs who answered questions about their experiences with ED treatment. The study found 3 themes: 1) role of the body in treatment, 2) negative experiences with clinicians, and 3) recommendations for treatment centers and providers. Participants reported inadequacies in clinicians' gender competence, which contributed to beliefs that the ED treatment was ineffective and sometimes even harmful.
