/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Do any other MTFs have issues with food or even full blown EDs. I am not anorexic but some part of me believes that I am more feminine when very underweight. I am currently trying to gain weight because I don't really love having my ribcage fully exposed, though.

They're both diseases that affect perceptions. What an anorexic sees when they look at themselves isn't what it actually is in reality (anorexics can be practically just skin and bones, like pic related, yet see themselves as a landwhale when they look in the mirror). This is similar to how schizophrenia also affects perceptions, seeing or hearing things that aren't actually there (not all forms of schizophrenia involve hallucinations by the way, but that's what most lay-people think of when they hear schizophrenia). Anorexia is also extremely dangerous, for obvious reasons (severe malnutrion, death by starvation, etc.)
