In 2019, two-thirds of sexually and gender-diverse Canadians aged 15 to 17 reported being made fun of, or called names or insulted by others, ten percentage points more than cisgender and heterosexual youth of the same age. The second most common type of bullying for which there was a gap between cisgender/heterosexual and minority youth was being excluded from certain activities (9.2 percentage points).
Gender and sexual diversity youth include people who are transgender or non-binary (regardless of sexual attraction) and/or who experience same-gender attraction.
