"Transgender rights"? Is that a neutral or a biased term? Is there such a thing? Shouldn't it be female rights, or perhaps you should say the court will address transgenderism.

It’s a good question. Transgender rights are treated in very much the same way as gay, lesbian and bisexual rights (they are included under the broad LGBTQ+ umbrella). Transgender rights are widely acknowledged, including by the ACLU, one of the primary advocacy groups opposing the Tennessee legislation:
Transgender is a completely nonsense term, whereas transsexual at least comported with the actual physicality. But the bottom line is that transition of sex- or even "gender" (a linguistic term hijacked by ideologues)- does not happen. We must stop speaking in the reality-concealing euphemisms foisted by propaganda upon our common lexicon, especially those birthed by extreme body modification fetishists looking to promote a permanent state of childhood for potential future victims, such as "transgender child." This includes the need to use biologically correct terms when discussing misclassified children in danger of medical mutilation by unwell adults.
The media outlets have been given explicit instructions by activist groups who police the language. Thus the term "transgender rights" - because who could argue with that?
Transgender rights essentially proclaims specific rights afforded to people suffering narcissistic delusions and mental disorders. Should you have a right to employment if your grasp on reality is tenuous at best? Should anyone be compelled to retain someone who cannot fathom fundamental truths such as the binary nature of gender. If it is not and it’s a social construct, then it is not discrimination on an immutable traits such as race, age, sex or ethnicity but more along the lines of viewpoint, ideology or religion.
Does a Christian charity have the right to refuse to hire a Nazi? Does the NAACP have the right to fire trans racialist, Rachel Dolezal? Can any employer refuse to hire someone who believes they’re something they’re not?

Moreover, media outlets all along the political spectrum use the term:

Yes, since it is a completely nonsense term, I believe this is how SCOTUS will skirt this issue. There is too much $$$ involved in "transgender" now.
