Having a trans teen with an eating disorder can cause panic for any parent. Mourning the adolescent you thought you had is not an easy process and may involve sadness, guilt, and a sense of helplessness. However, it is possible to take actions to reduce gender dysphoria without fueling the eating disorder. Here are six therapeutic approaches that can help your trans teen feel better in their body without increasing the presence of an eating disorder.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d4ebde elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d4ebde\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.\tAccept Your Teen\u2019s Trans Identity <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0917ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c0917ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYour teen has not become a completely different person just because they are trans or non-binary. On the contrary, it is simply a new stage in the development of their identity. A Trans identity is just as valid as a cis identity. Accepting your teen and supporting them in their gender affirmation journey is a sign of respect and openness on your part. Don\u2019t hesitate to seek support from groups for parents of trans and non-binary teens if this process is difficult for you.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a023199 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a023199\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.\tIdentify Ways to Experience Gender Euphoria <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23dac78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23dac78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGender euphoria to a trans teen, a feeling of joy related to one\u2019s gender identity, is an emotion to foster. In contrast, gender dysphoria, a feeling of incongruence between one\u2019s assigned gender at birth and gender identity, is an extremely negative emotion that must be avoided. A trans teen may use food restriction or excessive physical activity to reduce gender dysphoria, but this only reinforces an eating disorder. A good strategy is identifying ways to experience gender euphoria in order to avoid fueling an eating disorder. These strategies vary from person to person and may include the approaches listed below.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b12326 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6b12326\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.\tUse Gender-Affirming Tools <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d35c26c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d35c26c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGender-affirming tools can help your trans teen feel more comfortable in their body. &#8220;Binders,&#8221; for example, are chest compression garments that help a trans teen foster a more masculine appearance. &#8220;Packers&#8221; can give the appearance of having male genitalia, which can affirm the gender of a transmasculine teen. &#8220;Padding&#8221; is primarily used to give a more feminine appearance to a transfeminine teen\u2019s body. All these affirmation tools can be obtained online or at LGBTQ+ centers. They help reduce gender dysphoria and increase gender euphoria, which in turn can reduce behaviors related to eating disorders.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a6a01d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a6a01d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.\tExplore Gender Expression<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56cf12c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56cf12c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJust like gender-affirming tools, exploring gender expression through clothing, shoes, and makeup is a way for a trans teen to feel more comfortable in their body. Don\u2019t hesitate to accompany your trans teen in their identity and fashion journey. Exploring different styles is a common process for both cis and trans teens and contributes to the development of your teen\u2019s identity beyond their eating disorder.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a11bcb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a11bcb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.\tExplore Medical Gender-Affirmation Methods <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b57235f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b57235f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccess to hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries is challenging for teens, who often must wait until adulthood for these treatments. However, gender-affirmation methods, such as birth control pills for a transmasculine teen experiencing dysphoria related to menstruation, are more accessible in most cases. For example, taking birth control pills can stop menstruation and reduce the associated gender dysphoria without your teen engaging in disordered eating behaviors to stop their periods. Don\u2019t hesitate to consult your family doctor to see if this is a good option for your teen.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3dcc10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a3dcc10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.\tEncourage Participation in Activities with a Gender-Affirming Goal if Possible <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c37a3c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c37a3c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBeing a trans teen can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, especially for those who lack a social circle of trans and non-binary people. Social activities, such as sports or hobbies, are important tools to help your trans teen build a community. An LGBTQ+ league, for example, can help your trans teen feel more supported and engages them in physical activity with a group that respects their trans identity. The benefits of being supported by peers, such as playing a team sport with other trans and non-binary teens, are undeniable.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebbe3a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ebbe3a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFinally, it is possible to work on the relationship with food and gender identity in parallel.
