A first example is provided by the 2015 Youth Risk Behaviour Surveillance System (YRBS), conducted by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the USA.  Statistically analysed together with a sub-group of bisexual respondents, another subgroup identified ‘Not Sure: of gender.

Youth2000 survey in New Zealand. This is conducted among 9-13 year olds and, since 2012, has included a question about whether students self-identify as transgender. The sample for the most recent survey (2012) involved students being randomly selected from 91 schools that, in turn, were randomly selected from all eligible schools (those with at least 50 students) from across the country.

The resulting sample – of 8,500 respondents – proved large and representative enough for the implementers to find that 1.2% of students identify as transgender – a figure that is significant enough to enable statistical comparisons (Clark, et al., 2013).

UNESCO-supported study in four countries in Southern Africa, questionnaires used in schools referred to gender non-conforming students as ‘people who are seen as different in terms of gender (boys who look or act like girls; girls who look like or act like boys)’.

Respondents  were given a  range of gender identity options. EG., whether or not they self-identify as transgender. The following are two examples of best practice questions about gender identity.
