Fielded eleven days after the 13 May 2016 federal Dear Colleague letter on transgender students. || Toplines, wording and party crosstabs read directly from the Quinnipiac topline PDF (p.9). Fielded three weeks after the Obama administration's May 13, 2016 Title IX guidance letter to schools.

Questions asked (2)
public school bathroom and locker room access for transgender students
Do you think public schools should be required to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that are consistent with the gender they identify with or don't you think so?
Don't think so
56%
Should be required
36%
Unsure/No answer
8%
Wording notes: frames the affirming option as a government requirement on schools ('should be required') rather than as permission | bundles locker rooms with bathrooms
tilts_restrictive — the mandate framing ('should be required') and the inclusion of locker rooms both attach costs to the affirming response that a simple access framing would not; the negative pole is also left implicit ('don't you think so')
