| Abstract |
:
As with male populations more generally, eating disorder symptom expression among trans-masculine youth is understudied. Gender minority individuals are at increased risk for eating disorders; however, culturally responsive and developmentally tailored research is limited. Although all gender minority individuals may experience elevated risk for developing eating disorders, the focus of this article is trans-masculine youth. We provide a theoretical conceptualization of eating disorder symptom expression among this understudied group, and propose novel directions for research, particularly for youth at pubertal onset. Adolescence as a critical developmental period for intervention is highlighted. |
