Questions asked (3)
whether children should be taught gender can be changed through surgery and hormones
Do you believe that children should be taught that their gender can be changed through surgery and hormone treatment if they want it to be?
No
54%
Yes
35%
Unsure/Refuse
11%
Wording notes: frames gender change solely as 'through surgery and hormone treatment' | 'if they want it to be' implies elective choice
tilts_restrictive — reduces gender identity to surgical and hormonal alteration and attaches it to children's wants, framings that invite a protective 'no'
Subgroup figures (18)
school toilets, changing rooms and camp bunkrooms by gender identity vs biological sex
Should schools allow children to choose the toilet, changing room and camp bunkroom they use based on their gender identity or their biological sex?
Biological sex
46%
Gender identity
36%
Unsure/Refuse
18%
Wording notes: uses 'biological sex' as the contrast term
neutral — both alternatives are stated symmetrically; 'biological sex' is a contested term but is paired against 'gender identity' rather than substituted for it
Subgroup figures (18)
school sports teams by gender identity vs biological sex
Should children play in sports teams based on their gender identity or their actual biological sex?
Gender identity
39%
Biological sex
39%
Unsure/Refuse
22%
Wording notes: the word 'actual' modifies only the biological-sex alternative
tilts_restrictive — the asymmetric modifier 'actual' before 'biological sex' implies the gender-identity alternative is not actual
