They didn’t mention trans rights because they didn’t want to alienate the Republicans that they’re courting. They would rather shit on progressives than lose a conservative vote.
It’s not only Republicans voters that plan to vote for the Democrats that would be alienated by a “woke” candidate, for some it would be enough to just not go out and vote and I’m willing to bet that more people would do that than the number of people that would be convinced to vote by raising the issue.
Why do you think that it’s shitting on progressives? Can someone not mention during a speech but still work to pass legislation in support of trans rights when they have the power to do so, after an election where they need votes that may be turned off by the issue? Nobody came out against trans rights. An omission on the topic isn’t anti trans.
If not talking about an issue now may mean more voters so that real change may happen, even if that means courting republicans, why is that a bad thing?
It’s possible to support something without talking about it one time.
Based on Republicans passing over 500 anti-trans bills the last several years and Democrats haven’t done shit except talk about it. Democrat version of protecting their rights is telling them they’re free to use whatever restroom they want, while ignoring that they don’t have access to affordable Health Care or housing and may live in abject poverty while using that preferred restroom.
When did Democrats ever have the power to change any of that? Can’t force change without control of Congress which didn’t happen. While it seems like a weak consolation, gender neutral bathrooms is progress. Nobody as the unilateral power to make any of those changes.
What do you think could have been done over the last 4 years that would have been real change?

They have zero interest in protecting trans rights.
Based on what? There is zero basis in your claim.
