Gender Roles & The Impact on Eating Disorders (3/3)
Eating Disorder Support / by 24Help1

 August 13th, 2020
...See more Hello and welcome to our final post in this series: Gender, Sexual Orientation, & Gender Roles! Feel free to read yesterdays post here. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/EatingDisorderSupport_54/ForumDiscussions_1336/SexualOrientationTheImpactonEatingDisorders23_227193/] As mentioned yesterday, the rates of eating disorders between women and gay/bisexual men are relatively equal. This led researchers to start looking into how traditional masculinity and femininity affect vulnerability to eating disorders. ***This idea is based on the stereotype of gay men being feminine*** The above studies have had inconclusive results as far as gay men being more feminine, however, they did find a correlation between higher femininity and being more likely to have eating disorder behaviors. Other studies also showed the opposite of that! The conclusion from this is that our femininity and masculinity ultimately has no role in how at-risk we are for eating disorder behaviors, do not fear. However, breaking the gender roles and barriers (for example, being transgender) can be a huge contributor to eating disorder behaviors. Feel free to learn more about this here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/EatingDisorderSupport_54/InformationandResourcesforEatingDisorders_230/EatingDisordersintheTransgenderCommunity_223769/]. The main conclusion of the studies mentioned today is that transgender individuals have a much higher risk of developing an eating disorder, while breaking gender roles doesnt necessarily.

Sexual Orientation & The Impact on Eating Disorders (2/3)
Eating Disorder Support / by 24Help1
Last post
 May 6th, 2021
...See more Hello everyone! Today is day 2 of our 3 part series: Gender, Sexual Orientation, & Gender Roles and their effect on eating disorders! Today is the longest discussion that we will have! Feel free to find yesterdays discussion here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/EatingDisorderSupport_54/ForumDiscussions_1336/GenderTheImpactonEatingDisorders13_227128/]. Only two genders are specified because of the lack of inclusivity surrounding the research of nonbinary individuals. I'm sorry if this discussion isn't being inclusive to non-binary people ❤️ LGBTQ+ Men Although we do not know why, identifying as gay is associated with disordered eating patterns and higher rates of body dissatisfaction. Being homosexual and asexual is a factor that stands out among most male eating disorder sufferers. Men who are questioning their gender identity are also more vulnerable to developing an eating disorder (which we will touch on more tomorrow!). Bulimia is a specific eating disorder that is more common among gay/bisexual men. HOWEVER, participating in the LGBTQ+ community lowers the prevalence of eating disorders, implying that discomfort with identity and societal pressure is a major contributing factor to why LGBTQ+ men develop eating disorders at a higher rate. LGBTQ+ Women Contrary to the research that gay men are more vulnerable to eating disorder behaviors, lesbians are less vulnerable. Lesbians have been found to have less body dissatisfaction and less disordered eating behaviors than heterosexual women. Lesbians have also been found to have higher ideal body weight (for example, they think that x pounds is beautiful while heterosexual women think that they need to be x-10 pounds), leading to less of a strive for thinness. It is thought that the culture that lesbian subcultures have created is less body-focused and less focused on physical attractiveness. This means there is less cultural pressure to be thin. Despite lesbians being less vulnerable to body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors, there is no difference between the number of heterosexual and homosexual women with eating disorders, implying that eating disorders are more than just social, while diets & body dissatisfaction are more social. Feel free to answer any or all of the below questions! 🔥 Whats something you learned from todays post? 🔥 Did you think that sexual orientation would affect eating disorder prevalence? 🔥 What do you think is the difference between LGBTQ+ women and LGBTQ+ men that makes the differences mentioned above? 🔥 Feel free to add anything else! I hope to see everyone tomorrow for our last topic: Gender Roles & The Impact on Eating Disorders!

Gender & The Impact on Eating Disorders (1/3)
Eating Disorder Support / by 24Help1
Last post
 September 11th, 2020
...See more This forum post is part 1 of 3 forum posts centered around Gender, Sexual Orientation, & Gender Roles, plus their effect on eating disorders and the development of eating disorders. This is part 1, gender & the impact on eating disorders! The following is discussing identified gender, not necessarily biological sex. Society tends to think of eating disorders as a female problem. However, the first eating disorder recorded in history was actually a male with an eating disorder, recorded in 1689. Its estimated that 5-10% of anorexia patients are male and 10-15% of bulimia patients are male, and this number is actually increasing compared to past studies. Most eating disorder behaviors and thought processes are the same across genders. However, males and females have been found to have different preoccupations in their eating disorders. Men are actually more preoccupied with weight and food than their female counterparts. Females with eating disorders tend to have a lower body mass index, most likely because of societal pressure. While treatment is low for both genders, females are also more likely to seek out treatment for their eating disorder. Feel free to answer any or all of the following questions: 🔥 Did the percentage of males with eating disorders shock you? Why or why not? 🔥 Did you think that there would be a difference between men and womens eating disorder behaviors & thought patterns? 🔥 What did you learn from this information? I hope to see everyone tomorrow for our next topic: Sexual Orientation & The Impact on Eating Disorders!
