Disordered eating in sexual and gender minority adults: the roles of gender variance, appearance anxiety, and internalized ideals.

Femininity was a marginally significant predictor of thin ideal internalization, with a small effect size (β = 0.1302, z = 1.97, p = 0.049), although the corresponding confidence interval included zero (95% CI [−0.0219, 0.4400]). 4 Discussion This study extends existing research by examining sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals in Romania, an Eastern European context largely underrepresented in the literature on eating disorders.
