Sources

Verification note. Item text, total and full party breaks read from the VCU News release. Mode and weighting not stated in the release; the item is reported as a bare agree/disagree proposition, so the interviewer-read stem may have carried an additional preamble that was not published. Release date known to month.

Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

Athletes should only play on teams that match their birth gender

Agree

Wording notes: agree/disagree format subject to acquiescence bias | uses 'birth gender' | states only the restrictive proposition | does not name transgender people | no level of competition specified

tilts_restrictive — A one-sided agree/disagree proposition stating the restrictive rule invites acquiescence and offers no competing formulation; the 69% agree figure here is not directly comparable to forced-choice items elsewhere that pair 'birth gender' against 'gender identity'.
