According to a new study, young people also consider themselves to be more supportive of trans people than their teachers, as only 76% think their teachers would be supportive of a student coming out as trans at school.
Of the LGBTQ+ young people surveyed, 96% said they would would support a friend if they came out as trans, compared to 76% of non-LGBTQ+ young people.
Commissioned by Just Like Us, the charity for LGBTQ+ young people, the independent research surveyed 2,934 secondary school pupils (including 1,140 LGBTQ+ young people) ages 11 to 18 across 375 schools and colleges.
The data forms part of a larger report into inclusive education and the experiences of young queer pupils, which will be published by Just Like Us in June 2021.
