Sources

Verification note. Included as a documented example of an advocacy-framed Texas bathroom item. Wording and the 69% figure come from the Texas Politics Project blog post analyzing it; the original Baselice release was not retrieved, so field dates, n, mode and MoE are unknown and date_precision is month.

Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

Under current law, it is NOT illegal for men to enter a public women's restroom, locker room or shower.

Under current law, it is NOT illegal for men to enter a public women's restroom, locker room or shower. Do you support passing a state law that would make it illegal for men to enter in a public women's restroom, locker room or shower in order to assure women have privacy and can feel safe

Wording notes: does not use the word transgender - recasts trans women as 'men' | preamble asserts a contested premise about current law | appends a justification clause ('in order to assure women have privacy and can feel safe') to only one side | no counter-argument offered

loaded_terms — The stem never names transgender people, describes them as 'men' entering women's facilities, states a one-sided premise about current law, and attaches a safety/privacy rationale to the supportive side only. This is a classic one-sided persuasion-style item and the Texas Politics Project cited it specifically to illustrate wording effects.
