There are good progressives apparently
I agree with you, but the point that I was trying to make is that so many of her followers are now trashing her for supporting that position. Read some of the comments she is receiving:
"For the atrocious thought crime of agreeing that biological sex is real, Rowling faced an immediate mob onslaught and the hashtag #TERF (t***s exclusionary radical feminist) began trending.
“My daughter, who is t***s, is a big fan of yours,” said the mother of a t*********r daughter. “It breaks my heart to see you post something indicating that discrimination against her is perfectly fine behaviour for an employee. The world’s most credible medical orgs affirm t***s people. Please catch up.”

“Over the past couple of years JK Rowling has used her massive platform and influence almost exclusively to destroy the UK left and ruin the lives of t***s people,” tweeted another user.

“There is literally no excuse at this point for not knowing that jk rowling is a t***sphobe who h**es t***s people, especially t***s women,” added another.
“I grew up as a t***s child reading your books as an escape. I would often pick out names from characters to give to myself, before I ever felt comfortable in who I was. This decision, to support people that h**e me, and want to do me harm. It brings me to tears… Why. Why?” asked another.
