LGBTQ+ (eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) people report more severe body image and eating disorder (ED) psychopathology than their cisgender heterosexual peers. Disparities are linked to unique marginalization and sociocultural processes that intersect to produce poorer psychological well-being. However, few advancements have been made in culturally responsive intervention efforts, and LGBTQ+ people often report stigmatizing ED treatment experiences. Here, the authors present the current state of such efforts and more broadly aim to synthesize various care recommendations and recent empirical studies into a cohesive set of practical clinical recommendations in the absence of widely available tailored interventions.
