Duffy et al. [1] have published an important study in the Journal of Adolescent Health about the health of transgender individuals. In a survey of 365,749 college students living in the United States, 678 (.2%) self-identified as transgender. Among those identifying as transgender, Duffy et al. observed a past-year eating disorders prevalence rate of 18% (nearly one in five) compared with rates of 1.8% and .2% for cisgender women and men, respectively. Of those transgender individuals with eating disorders, the authors observed a past-year suicide attempt prevalence rate of 75%da figure both shocking and compelling. The authors accurately state that the high rate of suicidality among transgender individuals with eating disorders is likely the result of multiple compounding issues, including the widespread discrimination and violence perpetrated toward transgender individuals [2] and the intrinsic pathos of eating disorders, which are known to potentiate suicidality [3]. But why are eating disorders so common among transgender individuals in the first place? In this editorial, we articulate one potential answer by drawing on two interrelated psychological concepts: gender and embodiment. In the eyes of many, eating disorders are synonymous with females, anorexia, and an intense desire to be thin [4]. Meanwhile, the field of eating disorders is contending with new manifestations of eating disorders that arise from different yet equally intense desires. Muscle dysmorphia, a psychological disorder nicknamed "reverse anorexia," is the manifestation of an intense, psychopathological desire to be muscular [5]. Gender differences in the prevalence of anorexia nervosa and muscle dysmorphia accord with gender differences in the types of bodies that women and men covet [6]. Generally speaking, women desire to be thin, whereas men desire to be muscular. By extension, women are overrepresented in anorexia, and men are overrepresented in muscle dysmorphia [6]. Eating disorders can be understood as moving targets [7]. Different desires for different bodies motivate different attitudes and behaviors. If we are willing to accept that different people desire different bodies, then we must also accept different manifestations of the psychopathology that arises 1054-139X/
