Declarations
:
: The survey was conducted in accordance with Australian ethical standards and ethics approval for the <i>Writing Themselves In 4</i> study was obtained from the La Trobe University Human Research Ethics Committee (HEC19237). All participants provided written informed consent to participate in the study via an online form prior to completing the survey. In line with other research conducted with gender and sexual minority youth, consent was not obtained from parents or guardians for those aged under 16. This is in acknowledgement of the fact that many young people may have not disclosed their gender identity or sexuality to parents or guardians. Indeed, doing so could result in harm for those in circumstances where their parents or guardians are not supportive of such identities or experiences. All participants themselves gave written informed consent online and the method of consent was approved by the La Trobe University Human Research Ethics Committee.
