“…Although research is limited, some studies point to the potential importance of weight bias internalization in understanding BED symptoms among sexual minority individuals. Broadly, weight-based self-worth has been found to be a major factor in determining risk for eating disorder symptoms among sexual minority individuals (Bell et al, 2019). Gay men have been found to have higher weight-related body dissatisfaction (e.g., fear of becoming fat, overevaluation of “ideal physique”) compared with heterosexual men (Kaminski et al, 2005).…”

“…As such, individuals who are at increased risk of experiencing stress and negative emotions related to stigma may be particularly vulnerable to BED symptoms. Indeed, higher perceived stigma regarding sexual orientation is related to higher risk for eating disorder symptoms (Bell et al, 2019), and sexual orientation-related discrimination has been linked to binge eating in particular (Mason & Lewis, 2015). In addition to sexual orientation-related stressors, weight-related stressors may pose a vulnerability for BED symptoms for sexual minority individuals, as research has demonstrated an association between weight-related stressors and BED symptoms (Neumark-Sztainer et al, 2002).…”

Despite the prevalence and impact of binge eating disorder (BED) symptoms among sexual minority individuals, few studies have examined factors that may be responsible for sexual orientation-based disparities in BED symptoms. We examined the relationship of sexual minority status to BED symptoms. Specifically, we hypothesized an indirect effect of sexual minority status on BED symptoms such that sexual minority individuals experienced more frequent weight-related teasing, which in turn was associated with greater weight bias internalization, which then led to greater BED symptoms. Undergraduate students (N = 688) of varying weight status, sexual orientation, and gender provided data. A path analysis model utilizing ordinary least squares regression was used to evaluate relationships between variables. Sexual minority participants had more frequent weight-related teasing, higher weight bias internalization, and more severe BED symptoms. Analyses supported both the indirect effect hypothesized above, and an indirect effect bypassing weight bias internalization. Additionally, a direct effect for sexual minority status on BED symptoms was found. Our results suggest that negative societal experiences are a key factor in understanding the greater BED symptoms that occur among sexual minority individuals. Future research is needed to evaluate these relationships longitudinally and using other samples.

“…Adults who identify as transgender or nonbinary (TNB) are at elevated risk for multiple adverse physical and mental health outcomes, including eating disorder (ED) pathology (Bell et al, 2019; Coelho et al, 2019; Goldhammer et al, 2019; Lefevor et al, 2019). For example, via National College Health Assessment II data, TNB students were more likely to self-report past-year ED diagnoses and past-month compensatory behaviors (e.g., self-induced vomiting) than cisgender students (those whose gender identities align with assigned sexes at birth; Diemer et al, 2015).…”

The present study examined associations among weight misperception (discrepancies between individuals' perceived and actual weight statuses), thin-ideal overvaluation, positive mental health, and eating disorder symptoms in a large national sample of college and university students. Participants included 3,371 adult students from 78 campuses who identified as transgender or nonbinary (TNB) and completed the 2017-2018 or 2018-2019 waves of the cross-sectional multi-institute Healthy Minds Study. Via an online survey, participants completed validated measures assessing perceptual and cognitive-affective body image constructs, positive mental health, and eating disorder pathology. A structural equation model examined whether weight misperception (over-and underperception) and thin-ideal overvaluation were associated with positive mental health and, in turn, eating disorder pathology. Whether these associations differed among individuals who identified as trans men, trans women, and genderqueer/gender nonconforming and individuals with self-identified TNB identities was examined via a multiple-group structural equation model. Overall, 35% of participants exhibited elevated eating disorder pathology. Overvaluation of the thin ideal and weight overperception, but not weight underperception, were associated with lower levels of positive mental health, which in turn was associated with elevated eating disorder pathology. These associations did not differ across the assessed TNB identity groups. These findings support the continued use of a positive psychological perspective in research seeking to explain the elevated risk for eating disorder pathology found among individuals with TNB identities. Screening individuals comprising these historically overlooked groups for the presence of weight overperception and thin-ideal overvaluation via brief screening forms during routine health care visits is recommended. Public Significance StatementIn one of the largest studies of transgender and nonbinary young adults to date, weight overperception and thin-ideal overvaluation were associated with less positive mental health and, in turn, elevated eating disorder pathology. Prevention programs designed to enhance the positive mental health of this population warrant further assessment.

“…Los que se identifican como no binarios, intersexuales, transexuales masculinos y femeninos, pueden experimentar cada uno diferentes factores de estrés y ser vulnerables a diferentes síntomas de los TA: lo más frecuente, comer en secreto, en el 25,9 % de la muestra total. El peso de los factores de estigma, ansiedad, autoestima e importancia del peso o la figura son poco concluyentes pero pueden predisponer de forma indirecta este incremento de la psicopatología de los TCA (67).…”
