Objective: This national study aimed to estimate the prevalence of the transgender and gender-diverse identity and to assess the level of gender congruence, body dissatisfaction and quality of life among patients with eating disorders in Denmark.
Method: Patients with eating disorders were compared to a matched non-clinical comparison group. The survey included the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire and assessment of body dissatisfaction, gender congruence and quality of life.
Background: Vulvoplasty, described as a promising procedure for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) persons who were assigned male at birth and who, for example, do not need a vagina or who have contraindications to vaginoplasty, is a procedure that in accordance with current guidelines is not offered as genital gender-affirming surgery in Denmark.
Aim: In this study we sought to quantify the need for offering vulvoplasty in Denmark.
Materials And Methods: An online questionnaire was developed.
