One of many issues
Hello, I am a transgender man. Now, I do not have a diagnosis for an eating disorder as I am not ready to receive help just yet. Thought that may be important to say, I do not say I have an eating disorder just disordered eating.
Since November I have rapidly lost <edit> pounds. I have always been a bigger person. Since im trans and also dress like a 2000’s emo/skater I tend to get harrased. I decided to lose weight but sadly I have had disorded eating since 2019.
I am not going to go into anymore detail as I do not encourage the behaviour I do. I was talking with my best friend who is also my crush. He said that he can not wait for me to lose weight. He said he meant it in a non negative way as he said “You have great features and once you lose weight it will be more prominent and you will look model level” issue is he knows I have trouble with eating. I brought that up as I did not like the comment and he made a joke about it.
i just feel gross as well he always likes me back but now my brains just telling me that he only likes me for what i CAN be and not for who I am now.
its just insane that he would say that to be while he knows about my eating.

I hate hearing that you had to go through this and the lack of kindness for you. It's difficult when you have disordered eating to manage the eating, but even more difficult when you need to deal with others who are making comments that feed into the disordered eating.
I'm glad you posted. You deserve to be heard and treated with respect.
