“I have to constantly prove to myself, to people, that I fit the bill”: Perspectives on weight and shape control behaviors among low-income, ethnically diverse young transgender women
2016, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :From this vantage point, culture is “not simply contributory but productive of eating disorders” (Bordo, 1993, p. 50). Epidemiological and psychological research with young cisgender (i.e., non-transgender) women has supported the claim that gendered societal thinness ideals contribute to body dissatisfaction (Paquette and Raine, 2004; Stice and Whitenton, 2002), which in turn contributes to unhealthy weight and shape control behaviors (Grigg et al., 1996; Sonneville et al., 2012). Young transgender women (i.e., those whose gender identity—such as woman, transwoman, MtF, or genderqueer—differs from their assigned male sex at birth) are likely to be affected by these gendered beauty ideals promulgated in popular media and public discourse.
