Models included age, sex, parental income, degree elevated weight. Raked poststratification weights used. Results Rates (6.2%) similar to race/ethnicity (4.4%) orientation (4.5%). Weight‐based was more reporting multiple had significantly increased compared who did not report discrimination. Discussion is common likely be multiply marginalized experience These findings suggest a critical target prevent treat disorders.
