Wording notes: asks what the respondent 'wants' rather than what policy should be | specifies 'girls teams' only, so the item is one-directional - it never asks about transgender boys on boys' teams | offers no don't-know, forcing a two-way split that sums to 100
tilts_restrictive — restricting the frame to 'girls teams' invokes the fairness-to-girls narrative without the symmetric case, and the absence of any middle or don't-know option pushes the ambivalent into the 'no' column; note the resulting 35/65 split is far more restrictive than the balanced Marist item fielded three weeks earlier
