Questions asked (3)
whether trans women should be allowed to compete in women's sports
Should biological males who identify as women be allowed to participate in women's sports events?
Wording notes: 'biological males who identify as women' is the restrictive-side term of art and the only descriptor offered | no counter-framing or competing consideration offered | yes/no rather than a scaled item, which suppresses intensity
loaded_terms — the stem uses only the opponents' description of trans women ('biological males who identify as women') and asks a bare permission question with no countervailing consideration; the referent is also unbounded as to level of competition, age, or medical status
whether lessons about exploring or changing gender identity should be taught in public schools
Should lessons about exploring or changing gender identity be taught in public schools?
Wording notes: 'exploring or changing gender identity' describes instruction as an invitation to transition rather than as instruction about the existence of trans people | no grade level specified, so respondents supply their own - typically the youngest
tilts_restrictive — 'lessons about exploring or changing gender identity' is not how any curriculum describes itself; the phrasing converts a question about acknowledging trans people into one about encouraging transition
criminalizing puberty blockers, hormones and surgery for minors
Should it be against the law to provide children under 18 with puberty blockers, drugs, and/or surgery to help them transition from one gender to another?
Wording notes: bundles puberty blockers, hormones and surgery into one item although surgery on minors is rare and the three have very different clinical profiles | 'against the law' asks about criminalization, a higher bar than 'should be allowed', which typically raises restrictive shares | 'children under 18' rather than 'adolescents' or 'minors' maximizes the youngest reading | no mention of parental consent or physician involvement
double_barreled — a single yes/no cannot separate opinion on surgery from opinion on puberty blockers, and the omission of any reference to parents or doctors removes the actual decision context
