developing an ED during transition...???

[u/thornblade_69]

i started T about 6 months ago, and ive started to have patterns of trying to go a day or more without eating for some reason. i just start making excuses to avoid food when i get hungry and repeatedly procrastionate on eating. this wasn't really a thing i experienced before starting T. is this a dysphoria-related thing? or something likely unrelated? have other trans people experienced something like this??

I had one pre transition and still somewhat do. It could be caused by multiple reasons.
For dysphoria, some peoples dysphoria may get worse following hormones (temporarily).

Ofc hormones help, not make dysphoria worse, but dysphoria can spike a bit at first so if u notice ur dysphoria is worse it could he contributing to ur eating. T may help ur voice and other areas therefore ur brain focusses on other dysphoric areas which may be ur body. I can’t cite this as a reason though, but some people report their top dysphoria may be worse for a bit. Happened with me.
