LGBTQ+ Safe Space.
Statistics show that eating disorders are much more prevalent in the LGBTQ community than in the general population.
- Gay males are estimated to make up only 5% of the total male-identifying population, but 42% of men with diagnosed eating disorders identify as gay.
- Trauma is a common obstacle among people with eating disorders. LGBTQ-identifying individuals face higher rates of gender violence.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community face many access-to-care barriers, one of them being a lack of culturally-competent providers. - 71% of transgender individuals between the ages of 13 and 24 have diagnosed eating disorders.
For a space to be truly safe for the LGBTQ population, whether in an outpatient or a residential treatment setting, it must be more than physically safe and generally respectful. It must be affirming, intentional, and compassionate, taking safety and respect to a new level.
