The present study focused on trans and nonbinary (TNB) individuals who have an androgynous or non-stereotypical body ideal, with attention to how their body ideal is conceptualized and maintained. Data were collected online from 76 TNB individuals. Based on responses to two open-ended prompts, a two-tiered analysis was conducted. First, thematic analysis was used to develop four central themes describing the way TNB individuals conceptualized their androgynous body ideal: 1) Attaining Neutrality and De-Categorizing Gender; 2) Disaggregating Gender Expression; 3) Managing Gender Dysphoria; and 4) Achieving Authenticity. Second, content analysis was used to document 12 behaviors engaged in or actions taken for the purpose of approaching or maintaining an androgynous or non-stereotypical body ideal. These were grouped into 3 main categories: gender expression (clothes, hair, make-up, body modifications), body shape (weight, muscularity, eating/diet), and sex characteristics (hormone therapy, body hair, vocal, chest, genitals). Results of the present study expand the current body ideal literature by including TNB narratives and by focusing specifically on the ways an androgynous body ideal is conceptualized and maintained. Research and clinical implications are discussed.

本研究侧重于具有雌雄同体或非定型理想身材的跨性别和非二元 (TNB) 个体，并关注他们的理想身材是如何概念化和维持的。数据是从 76 名 TNB 个人在线收集的。基于对两个开放式提示的回应，进行了两级分析。首先，主题分析被用于开发四个中心主题，描述 TNB 个人概念化其雌雄同体理想身体的方式：1)实现中立和去分类性别；2)分解性别表达；3)管理性别焦虑症；和 4)实现真实性。其次，内容分析用于记录为接近或维持雌雄同体或非定型身体理想而从事或采取的 12 种行为。这些被分为 3 个主要类别：性别表达（衣服、头发、化妆、身体改造）、体型（体重、肌肉、饮食）和性别特征（激素疗法、体毛、声音、胸部、生殖器）。本研究的结果通过包括 TNB 的叙述并特别关注雌雄同体的理想身材的概念化和维护方式，扩展了当前的理想身材文献。讨论了研究和临床意义。
