since it's stopgap, I don't think it had the LGBT+ riders that were in the original bill ...
for now the biggest impact to the trans population is from the government funding going through, it means that federal workers will get paid (in some cases will receive backpay), federal workers will be able to return to work (and in some cases get their jobs back if they were wrongfully terminated during the shutdown), and SNAP benefits and other aid programs will now be funded (and hopefully won't be obstructed any more by Trump).
the downside is that the Democrats caved on every single thing; this was their only leverage to get the ACA subsidies passed, which makes it very unlikely those subsidies will pass, basically making healthcare unaffordable for many (premiums will more than double, which is estimated to cause 4 million people to become uninsured, that number reaching 17 million by 2034).
previously they had already folded on their other demands, such as repealing cuts to Medicaid Trump had previously legislated (which take effect in 2026)
If they are so willing to fold on their top priorities when they have leverage, it's a sign of what we might expect in the future.
EDIT: update, Erin in the Morning confirms no anti-trans riders in the senate funding bill that passed
