I’ve struggled to find the words to describe what the Transgender Day Of Remembrance means to me. Each year on November 20th I pause to mourn the loss of so many whose lives have been cut short because of senseless violence fueled by prejudice.

Past research has found connections between sexual orientation and the risk of eating disorders in adults -- showing, for instance, that gay men have higher rates of symptoms than their heterosexual counterparts. Less has been known about how sexual orientation affects teenagers' risks of various eating disorders.
