In this episode, BANA Health Educator Maryum Chaudhry (she/her) sits down with Scout Silverstein (they/them), a specialist in gender-affirming eating disorder care and an advocate for intersex justice, harm reduction, and anti-carceral crisis response.
Scout brings a unique and valuable perspective on the intersection of eating disorders, body image, and the experiences of transgender and intersex individuals. In their conversation with Maryum, Scout delves into the complex challenges that marginalized communities face when it comes to mental health and wellness.
They discuss the importance of respecting differences—even when we cannot fully understand or accept them—and how kindness and empathy can help foster greater understanding and support for diverse identities. The impact of societal stigma on self-esteem and body image is also explored in depth.
Scout shares insights into their work within the eating disorder field and highlights how community involvement plays a crucial role in building resilience. The discussion also touches on the relevance of traditional mental health therapies, such as CBT-E, for trans individuals and the need for more tailored approaches in treating this population.
