I struggled with anorexia in my youth, and am a trans man. The difference between body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria is that gender dysphoria lessens with masculinizing your body, whereas you can never fix or improve anorexia by reaching or maintaining a low weight. https://twitter.com/sathananas/status/1293966513544847360 …
It's actually a fairly straightforward difference. Gender dysphoria is based in a realistic appraisal of ones body and disappears or lessens when concrete steps are taken to change it. Anorexia is the opposite- it starts mild and gets worse the closer you come to your "goal".
In terms of complexity, anorexia is clearly more complex- it's a deep seated psychological issue that is often extremely resistant to treatment, and one of the most deadly psychiatric issues. Gender dysphoria, in comparison, is simple, straightforward, and treatable.
I have an old friend from eating disorder treatment w/ chronic anorexia. She's incredibly jealous of my recovery, and has often expressed a wish that she was a trans man so that there could be a treatment plan that worked for her, too.
