Addressing Weight‐Related Bullying in Schools
BACKGROUND: Weight-related bullying is linked to negative mental health outcomes. However, anti-bullying policies targeting weight-based bullying remain limited. This study aimed to gather youth perspectives on weight-related bullying and potential school interventions. METHODS: Data were collected in November 2022 from the MyVoice National Poll of Youth, a diverse cohort of U.S. youth (ages 14-24). Respondents (n = 621) answered five open-ended …
If I can accept my queerness, I can accept my body as it is”
Our findings underscore the importance of applying intersectional and life-course frameworks and call for systemic changes in public health to shift from weight-centric approaches toward affirming, weight-inclusive paradigms that address interlocking systems of oppression
"That's not at all what I needed" trans adults' perspectives on trans-affirming primary care and eating disorders
“How Do I Exist in This Body…That’s Outside of the Norm?” Trans and Nonbinary Experiences of Conformity, Coping, and Connection in Atypical Anorexia
Addressing eating disorders (EDs) within trans and nonbinary (TNB) populations is a growing concern, as TNB individuals are two to four times more likely to experience EDs than cisgender women. This study explored the lived experiences of TNB people with atypical anorexia by examining how gender identity impacted experiences of ED illness and (potential) recovery. Nine TNB adults with atypical anorexia were followed for one year and completed sem…
How Should We Approach Body Size Diversity in Clinical Trials
Regulatory and ethical considerations mandate that minorities affected by health disparities be included in research. Despite concerns about clinical outcomes for patients with obesity, clinical trials have reported few data about participation of and outcomes for such patients. This article examines the lack of body size diversity in clinical research participants and reviews the evidence and ethical arguments for including larger-bodied patient…
Teaching How to Avoid Overreliance on BMI in Diagnosing and Caring for Patients With Eating Disorders
Physicians tend to rely on diagnostic criteria, which can influence patients' access to care by legitimizing need for care, connections to appropriate clinicians, and insurance coverage for indicated interventions. This article considers potential unintended but foreseeable negative consequences, including iatrogenic harm, of using body mass index (BMI) to distinguish typical from atypical anorexia nervosa, despite both illnesses sharing the same…
Correlates of LGBQ Activism and High-Risk Activism
Transgender and nonbinary activism among social work students in the US
Social workers are expected to serve and advocate for marginalized communities, including but not limited to transgender and nonbinary communities (TNB). However, the extent to which social workers meet this expectation is unknown. Using data from a 2019–2020 survey of students who were enrolled in U.S. social work programs (N = 725), this study examined the predictors for engaging in TNB activism, including interaction effects between subdomains…

At the Society for Social Work and Research 2021 Annual Conference, the authors of this commentary presented at or attended a roundtable discussion to critically examine discourses around age, race, and gender that had emerged or been impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inspired by the richness of their discussion and diverse areas of interest, they coauthored this commentary to argue for the utility and relevance of critical discourse analysi…
Typical-Atypical Interactions
This article examines one patient's experiences with weight bias in an inpatient eating disorder treatment setting with a focus on interactions between the patient and her primary therapist. These therapeutic interactions had multiple unintended consequences, including bolstering feelings of denial, modeling of disordered behaviors, and disrupting the therapeutic alliance. Additional instances of weight bias with other treatment professionals, in…
