Sources

Verification note. Australian percentages read from Ipsos Australia's own release; methodology (fieldwork 17 Feb - 3 Mar 2023, Global Advisor, ~1,000 Australians aged 16-74, representative of the under-75 adult population) read from the 'About the study' section of the same release. Ipsos states the study had no external sponsor. The release gives the Australian agree percentages but not the full agree/disagree/don't-know distributions, so only the 'agree' rows are recorded. Item wording is Ipsos' statement text as reproduced in the release; the exact agree/disagree scale labels were not published on this page, so the scale stem is marked non-verbatim.

Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

employment, housing and public accommodation protection for transgender people

Wording reconstructed from: statement text as reproduced in the Ipsos Australia release; the surrounding agree/disagree stem was not published on that page

Agree
79%

Wording notes: asked in a long LGBT+ battery

gender-affirming care for transgender teenagers with parental consent

How much do you agree or disagree with each of the following statements? (Australian results from the Ipsos LGBT+ Pride 2023 Global Advisor survey)

With parental consent, transgender teenagers should be allowed to receive gender-affirming care (e.g. counselling and hormone replacement treatment).

Wording reconstructed from: statement text as reproduced in the Ipsos Australia release

Agree
57%

Wording notes: conditions access on parental consent | defines gender-affirming care as counselling and hormone replacement, not surgery

neutral — the parental-consent condition and the counselling/hormones examples make the item concrete rather than loaded, though the framing excludes surgery and so is not comparable with surgery-focused items
