It's most probable that Rowling is actually trans, but refuses to accept it. Denying it along with degrading empathy due to her financial success just creates a void she feeds with hostility. This leads to guilt, more hostility due to "shame", etc. Her books portray her actual feelings, but she fell off the wagon because she believes it is shameful to accept a different gender. She has even said that she wished she was a boy. Regardless, funding any kinda hate group is fucked. Believe what you want, but don't try and stop people from having their own joy if it's not harmful.
I've heard this speculated extensively. It would certainly be ironic.
But I'm more prone to believe she's one more British Fascist, poisoned by money and a growing circle of reactionary hysterics.
A lot of that stems from British entrenched misogyny. Wanting the privileges of masculinity, as much as the actual biology.
I think she's actually talked about how she'd have been trans if she had been born in a more trans-friendly age.
Like you also theorise, maybe that's what making her so mad, other trans people getting to have lives outside the closet when she was too afraid to.
Oh wait you had that in there
My bad read it too fast
