Sources
Verification note. Question wording, toplines and 2020 party-vote crosstabs read directly from the Curia results PDF. Party-vote 'Unsure' cells were not fully legible in the extracted text for every item, so only Support/Oppose (or Yes/No) party cells are recorded where that is the case.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
Questions asked (5)
law prohibiting primary schools teaching gender identity or sexual orientation
Would you support or oppose a law that prohibits primary schools from teaching any sexual issues, such as gender identity or sexual orientation, in the classroom as part of the curriculum in primary schools - that's ages 5 up to 10 or 11.
Wording notes: classifies gender identity as a 'sexual issue'
loaded_terms — grouping gender identity under 'any sexual issues' sexualises the topic before the respondent answers
Subgroup figures (12)
whether primary age children should be taught they can choose their gender
Do you believe that primary age children should be taught that they can choose their "gender" and that it can be changed through hormone treatment and surgery if they want it to be?
Wording notes: scare quotes around "gender" | 'choose their gender' framing | combines choice, hormones and surgery in one stem
tilts_restrictive — the scare-quoted "gender", the word 'choose', and the bundling of hormones and surgery with primary-age children all push toward a negative answer
Subgroup figures (12)
ban on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery for under-18s
Some people have proposed banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and physical sex-change surgeries for children under the age of 18 who identify as transgender. Would you support or oppose this kind of ban?
Wording notes: 'cross-sex hormones' and 'physical sex-change surgeries' rather than clinical terminology | bundles three distinct interventions into a single ban
double_barreled — one response has to cover three different interventions; the PDF itself notes some respondents may only support banning some of them
Subgroup figures (12)
automatic access to girls' sports teams
Should boys who identify as girls be allowed automatic right of access to girls sports teams such as netball or girls rugby or football (and vice versa)?
Wording notes: 'boys who identify as girls' rather than 'transgender girls' | 'automatic right of access' implies an unconditional entitlement
tilts_restrictive — misgendering language plus 'automatic right of access' sets a maximal version of the policy, and the release nevertheless compares the result to a 2018 item with materially different wording
Subgroup figures (18)
Pronouns & languageagree/disagree
whether a teacher should lose their licence for misgendering a trans student
Should a teacher lose their teaching licence for misgendering a trans student (refusing to use their preferred pronoun or recognise their gender identity)
Wording notes: tests only the most severe sanction (loss of licence) | 'preferred pronoun' framing
tilts_restrictive — offering only the maximum professional penalty and no intermediate response makes rejection the easy answer regardless of views on misgendering itself
