Wording notes: bundles transgender people with gay, lesbian and bisexual people in one item | three policy domains combined in one question (jobs, public accommodations, housing)
neutral — symmetric favor/oppose scale, no loaded terms; the design limitation is that it is double-barreled across three policy domains and four identity groups, so transgender-specific support cannot be isolated
laws requiring restroom use matching sex assigned at birth ('bathroom bills')
Q12. Do you favor or oppose each of the following?
Laws that require transgender individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to their sex at birth rather than their current gender identity
Wording notes: uses 'sex at birth' against 'current gender identity' | policy stated as a restriction the respondent favors or opposes
neutral — both poles of the policy are named; 'current gender identity' can imply impermanence but the alternative is stated symmetrically
agreement that transgender people deserve equal rights and protections
How much do you agree or disagree with the following statements?
Transgender people deserve the same rights and protections as other Americans.
Wording notes: abstract equality principle with no policy content | agree/disagree format is exposed to acquiescence bias
tilts_affirming — an affirmatively phrased agree/disagree principle statement invites acquiescence and measures abstract endorsement of equality, which runs far above support for specific transgender-affirming policies in the same instrument
