It was a really interesting read when she was talking about her personal history with anorexia, treatment etc.
She also then seemed to want to bring in transgender/young people wanting to transition as having potentially similar issues to her when she was young, but I don't think she had either enough research on this demographic or enough insight into what was driving other people's anorexia.
It felt like she mostly extrapolated her personal fear of growing up onto both other anorexics and transgender preteens and then drew her own conclusions.
