Wording notes: asked only of men - the design deliberately isolates male reaction rather than reporting a gender crosstabthe preamble presents the existence of the debate as fact without taking a side, but framing it as a 'national discussion' about 'whether' there are more than two genders does put the question of trans and non-binary existence up for public adjudicationthe nine sub-items are asymmetric in valence: five are negative (attacked, annoyed/angry, values threatened, excluded, rights taken away, against religious beliefs), two positive (learned a lot, feel included), one neutral-positive (men have an important role)no 'don't know' offered; large 'neither agree nor disagree' shares (21-43%)

Wording notes: both options carry a parenthetical qualifier, so the construction is unusually symmetric for a 2016 bathroom itemthe restrictive option's qualifier - 'regardless of how they appear or identify' - is arguably the more vivid of the two, since it makes explicit that a person who looks and lives as a woman would be sent to the men's room'biological sex on their birth certificate' conflates two different things: birth-assigned sex and the document, which in many states can be amended

Wording notes: long informational preamble that supplies facts many respondents would not otherwise hold - this is an informed-opinion item, not a top-of-head onethe preamble bundles the law and the economic backlash into a single stimulus, so the item cannot separate reaction to HB2 from reaction to the boycottsdescribes HB2 accurately as removing protections rather than using the 'bathroom bill' shorthand
