{Abstract}: Historically, eating disorders (EDs) have been conceptualized from a female-centric lens. However, consistent research demonstrates that EDs afflict individuals across the gender spectrum, including cismales and gender-diverse individuals. Despite this evidence, a consensus regarding gender-sensitive assessment practices, theoretical formulations, and treatment considerations has yet to be established. The present review briefly summarizes research to date on the presentation of EDs in cismales and gender-diverse individuals, suggests appropriate assessment and treatment practices, and offers recommendations for gender-inclusive ED treatment. To effectively serve patients with EDs across the gender spectrum, more research is needed to validate gender-sensitive assessment tools, comprehensively study ED pathology within gender-representative samples, and conduct randomized controlled trials that serve cismales and gender-diverse patients. In doing so, clinicians and researchers may better detect EDs across the gender spectrum and implement gender-appropriate, evidence-based interventions, thereby reducing impairment and mortality related to EDs for all patients.
