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?

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.
