You will probably find that people will quickly become very cross with you for not immediately agreeing with them about how horrible she "obviously" is.

Most arguments I've heard revolve around her using "unkind language" like in this tweet, which was characterized as bullying a random trans person for no reason. (The tweet she was quoting there was celebrating this "first trans football referee" or something; person in second image.)

JKR's response:

"Calling a man a man is not 'bullying' or 'punching down.' Crossdressing straight men are currently one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence, and women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us."

It's the kind of situation where, depending on what side of the trenches you are, you either see it as a harrowingly transphobic and hate filled statement, or an unapologetic and courageous statement against sexism.

And that's going to be the general trend with everything she says that stirs controversy. Obvious hatred in the eyes of one side, courageous truth telling in the eyes of the other.

I'm inclined to agree with her. (Big surprise, I know.) This does essentially look like a big bulky middle aged guy cross dressing with a bad wig, and as much as he's free to do that, it's a bit ridiculous to celebrate it in the news, and he has to understand that some women will feel mocked by it, and many will certainly not want to encounter him in a locker room or such.
