Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people experience significant health care disparities, including a higher prevalence of eating disorders (EDs). This study surveyed 55 TGD patients' experiences with disordered eating at a single academic center and their ability to access nutritional, exercise, and mental health services. Most participants reported a desire for but lack of access to these services. Almost 50% expressed concern about having an ED that was untreated. Services were also harder to access for nonbinary people. These results show the need for comprehensive ED programs with special attention to the needs of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people.
跨性别者和性别多样化（TGD）人群面临着显著的医疗保健差异，包括饮食失调（EDs）的患病率较高。本研究调查了55名TGD患者在单一学术中心的饮食失调经历以及他们获得营养、运动和心理健康服务的能力。大多数参与者表示渴望但无法获得这些服务。近50%的人对患有未得到治疗的饮食失调症表示担忧。对于非二元性别人群来说，获得这些服务也更加困难。这些结果表明需要有全面的饮食失调项目，特别关注跨性别者、非二元性别人群和性别多样化人群的需求。
