Decently-worded surveys?

Does anyone know of any existing surveys of viewpoints on women's and trans people's rights, whose wording has enough nuance to be meaningful?

So, for example, asking about the specifics of what people find acceptable in terms of male-bodied people accessing female only spaces (complex), as well as asking whether trans people should be facilitated in living free and dignified lives (of course)?

Obviously if you ask women "should trans people be allowed to identify as they wish?", we will generally - rightly - say "yes, of course".
But obviously this doesn't mean the same woman would agree with statements (usually not asked, I'm assuming) that "any person who so wishes should be housed in a women's prison if they say their gender identity has changed, even if they retain full male physical characteristics", or "any person who identifies as a woman may apply for female prizes or enter female sports, or medically examine a woman who has requested a female examine them".

And are there any surveys which explicitly outline the breadth of presentation "trans women" may encompass (including part-timers) before asking whether women are OK with these things?

You could look at this poll. wingsoverscotland.com/transforming-the-question/

Helen Staniland on Twitter commissioned a poll whose results are to be found on the Fair Play for Women website.
