Base: Independents include 'Others'
Wording notes: asks what the respondent 'wants' rather than what policy should bespecifies 'girls teams' only, so the item is one-directional - it never asks about transgender boys on boys' teamsoffers no don't-know, forcing a two-way split that sums to 100
Response options as the pollster wrote them
- Yes, want them to play
- No, do not want them to play

LGBTQ classification changed in this wave: two distinct questions (sexual orientation, gender identity) replaced the earlier single item.
