Wording notes: 'transgender' appears as a bare noun in an example list rather than as a policy | transgender is grouped with immigration, free speech and abortion, which flattens very different salience levels
neutral — symmetric five-point forced choice with an explicit equal-weight midpoint; example lists on both sides are of comparable length
