Summary

'Writing Themselves in 3' was published in 2010, and is the third of the Writing Themselves In national reports which have been conducted six years apart since 1998. 3134 same sex attracted and gender questioning (SSAGQ) young people participated. The participants, who were aged between 14 and 21 years, came from all states and territories of Australia, from remote, rural and urban areas and from a range of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. There were more women than men and a smaller group who were gender questioning. This report was one of the sources consulted when designing the MY Australia Census 2017.
