Eating disorder risk in transgender youth and its association with unmet need for gender-affirming hormone therapy in Aotearoa New Zealand: a cross-sectional study

While it is recognised that eating disorders are a global health concern, they have not received the priority they deserve. In the calls for urgent action, transgender youth deserve particular attention.
