This is because we oppose the current, dominant strain of trans activism, which holds that a man who declares himself a woman is, literally, a woman, and is therefore entitled to be treated as a woman in all contexts. Where women go to undress, he, too, should go to undress. If there’s an award or job advertised as exclusively for women, he should be eligible. Should he wish to play sports, he must be on the women’s team. No breast-feeding or rape support group should be allowed to exclude him. If he’s sexually orientated towards women, lesbians should include him in their dating pool. If convicted of a crime, even rape, he should be locked up with women.

More vile transphobia from Rowling. Each and every Harry Potter merchandise purchase contributes to this.
Did you read it? Can you tell me where you saw transphobia there, because I think I missed it.
Her continuing to refer to transgender women as men, as in the above paragraph.
what do you think of her financial contributions to helping women get female-delivered, female-centred support after crisis?
Centers providing those services are essential; the problem with Rowling's support is that it excludes transgender women from the definition of women.
It is no different than if such a center were to exclude immigrant women.
Thank you for clarifying.
Yes; referring to transgender women as men is transphobia.
Edit: Gladly.
