  SOJ Diabetes and Endocrinology Care - (SOJDEC) | Stephy Publishers Abstract Anorexia nervosa is a severe and potentially lethal eating disorder. In transgender youth with severe gender dysphoria, a severe eating disorder (proposed name: dysphorexia), coherent with anorexia nervosa may be triggered by the desire to avoid the cisgender pubertal transition.

Our patients could not access pubertal suppression due to lack of parental consent in one case and failure to express the conflict in the other. We postulate that avoiding the cisgender pubertal t...
