For people that have been aware of her it's entirely obvious that Rowling is not engaging in the issue in good faith.
For example, before she published under her own name she published under the pen-name of "Robert Galbraith".
So far so what, right?
Well that's the name of an infamous psychologist who experimented on gay people - often people in the criminal justice system who did not or could not consent to treatment - in order to try and convert them to heterosexuality.
Rowling has also been a vocal defender of Maya Forstater who lost a case at the Employment Tribunal in a case about how she described trans people for "[violating] their dignity and/or [creating] an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment". That's not the view of some random trans rights campaigner, that's a judge who must take in to account freedom of expression as provided for in the European Convention on Human Rights.
There's much more when you scratch the surface of Rowling's transphobia.
