What we found

Supports. NOW's own core-issues page lists 'championing abortion rights, reproductive freedom' and 'fighting bigotry against the LGBTQIA community' among its priorities.[1]

Context. No source uses the term 'transgenderism' or specifically lists transgender issues among NOW's six core priorities; the sources describe LGBTQ/LGBTQIA+ rights, a broader category.[1][2][3]
