Additionally, factors that promote and maintain positive body image for trans and gender diverse people involved a complex interplay of experiences such as gender-congruent appearances, positive distinctiveness, rejection of normative body expectations and psychosocial factors such as supportive communities, positive peer coping and agency. Such factors were understood in the context of gender and emphasise the importance of appreciating group contexts alongside individual experiences. Barriers to positive body image were also addressed. Notably, the current study was an opportunity for TGD adults to share their experiences of positive body image.

ED diagnoses that are most common in the perinatal period are also more prevalent among Black individuals compared to other races. However, existing ED screening tools may miss important cultural nuances within the Black population. There is little data on whether ED screening tools are effective at detecting body-image or eating issues among Black individuals, perinatal individuals, or the intersections between these groups. The purpose of this study was to conduct qualitative interviews with Black, African American, and Afro-Caribbean pregnant or postpartum individuals (<em>N</em> = 21, M<sub>age</sub>=32.81) about their experiences with body-image and ED concerns during the perinatal period and to obtain their feedback on two existing ED screening measures. The overarching goal of the study was to gather participant input to inform the development of a culturally congruent perinatal ED screening tool. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using an iterative, multi-phased inductive approach based on constructivist grounded theory. Data were organized into two themes: 1) <em>“Baby Runs the Body,”</em> and 2) \"<em>Too small, too big, and don’t start me on my nose!”</em> Feedback on existing ED screening tools was organized into a <em>Cultural Congruence</em> theme.
