I get what you're saying about influencing people's opinions, but WOLF's questions at least reflect the reality o the situation. I can't say the same about TRA's polls. Just compare this with the recent question about trans and women's sports made by Politico. Interestingly, despite the framing most people still didn't suport "gender identiy" policies in this poll, either.

Ahh thank you, I think I twigged it because I had just seen a poll showing women 1% in favour of males in women’s sports. And I think the wording was something like “Are you in favour of transgender women being be able to fairly participate in female sports?” Something leading, I was more enraged than I cared to be because the men were a few percent against!

If I had more patience or the mind for it I think it would be very interesting to compile and compare polls, numbers are so easy to bungle.
