Sources
Verification note. Transgender percentages by generation and Survey Methods paragraph read from the Gallup release. Gallup's description of the item on this page is a narrative gloss rather than the literal item text, so the wording recorded is carried from the 2021-02-24 release where Gallup printed it verbatim.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
