Sources
Verification note. Question wording, response labels, toplines and the age, gender, age-by-sex and party crossbreaks read from the KCL Policy Institute / Ipsos report 'The UK's changing culture wars'. Percentages were recovered from the report's chart data series; every subgroup column sums to 99-101%, which cross-checks the assignment. Methodology paragraph quoted from the report's study-details page. The linked Ipsos public-use tables PDF covers other items in the same wave and does not carry this item's crossbreaks.

Wording notes: 'gone too far' / 'not gone far enough' symmetric three-way frame | the stem itself carries no content; all substance is in the response options
neutral — the three substantive options are symmetric around an explicit middle, and a don't-know is offered; the frame does presuppose that 'transgender rights' is a coherent single object of judgement
