Sources

Verification note. Wording for the military item copied verbatim from the ANES 2020 post-election questionnaire (TRANSMIL_ALLOWMIL). Percentages are UNWEIGHTED marginal frequencies from the Berkeley SDA HTML codebook (V202388). No mean or distribution could be retrieved for the transgender feeling thermometer V202172 - SDA prints no frequency table for continuous thermometer variables - so that question carries an empty results array.
