Verification note. WORDING RECOVERY SWEEP. Item text and the Aug. 2016 column read from PRRI's own trend tables in the August 2021 AVA Wave 3 LGBTQ topline (Q.5a) and the April 2019 LGBT topline (Q.1d), which both print this single stem above a trend that includes the Aug. 2016 fielding. The database previously carried a close paraphrase of PRRI's release language.

Favor 15%23% Oppose

Wording notes: restrictive policy is the 'favor' pole | uses 'sex at birth' vs 'current gender identity' | battery item with no standalone stem - the favor/oppose scale is supplied once for the whole grid

neutral — the item states the restrictive policy and asks for favor/oppose, so 'oppose' is the pro-access answer; the paired terms 'sex at birth' and 'current gender identity' are stated symmetrically
