Not that conservatives were ever trans-friendly, but their current agitated fascination with the subject in US is mostly because Dems invited it by publicly supporting some related policies (sports etc) that don't poll well, to put it mildly. It's easy pickings, so of course they go there.

It doesn't neatly map to left/right politics globally, though. E.g. Sweden massively scaled back access to puberty blockers under social democrats.
