Morphology
trans + right
The phrase is directly compositional: 'trans' (short for transgender) modifies 'rights' (legal or moral entitlements), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it means rights/protections for transgender people. Note that 'trans' is an abbreviation and may be absent from some dictionaries, but given knowledge of the term the overall meaning is transparent and parallels constructions in other languages.
Etymology
The phrase trans rights comes from putting together trans, short for 'transgender', and rights, meaning 'legal protections' and fair treatment. Imagine people at a march holding a sign that says 'trans rights' to demand equal treatment, so the phrase means 'the rights and protections for transgender people'.
