Free2Be... Yet?: The Second National Study of Australian High School Students Who Identify as Gender and Sexuality Diverse: Executive Summary

Free2Be…Yet?, a follow-up to the 2015 Free2Be? report, details the findings from a second nationwide survey of gender and sexuality diverse Australian secondary school students. The name, while also intended to signal the continuation of the original line of research, was designed to highlight the central research question for teenagers: Is your school a place where it is safe for you to be yourself? Are you free to be you? As with the previous iteration of the research, the project’s core aims were to: Gain a better understanding of how gender and sexuality diverse students experience their school environment(s) with regards to treatment of gender and sexuality diversity. Investigate links between students’ reported school climate and various measures of their school wellbeing and associated academic outcomes.
