Comparisons of eating attitudes and disordered eating behaviors in a subsample of gender-expansive individuals 18–26 years old (N = 483) and 18–25 years old (N = 434) in The PRIDE Study to age-matched cisgender^a men from the Lavender et al. (2010) [21] sample (N = 404) and cisgender^a women from the Luce et al. (2008) [22] sample (N = 723)
