“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,” she tweeted. “The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women—i.e., to male violence—‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences—is a nonsense.”

She continued, “I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.”

I'm not sure she could be more clear.  She says that she supports trans people but there is a difference between the lived experiences of a biological woman and a trans woman.  One could come up with any number of things to describe this scientifically.  Yet it doesn't matter to these people.

There's been a ton of different articles written attacking this woman, 100x the amount of tweets doing the same, people getting rid of and even burning her books, the actors in her films denouncing her, and even Stephen King weighing in against her. 

And this didn't happened to some woman on the right, whose known to be controversial on LGBTQ issues.  This is a woman who's been one of their biggest and most vocal supporters these last 2 decades.  The entire Harry Potter series is filled with inlcusionary messages.  The left is eating itself here, all because she dared to differentiate between sex and gender.

It sounds like Rowling doesn't understand the difference between sex and gender. That's probably what a lot of the criticism towards her was.

It doesn't justify death threats, but there's loons in every community. For every death threat she got, there were probably 100 tweets just telling her that sex and gender are different and that transgender people (it's even in the name) don't think that there are no differences between trans women and cis women.

It is hard to consider her an ally to the transgender movement given what she's said, of course. Plus, her retroactively making Dumbledore gay was super cringe. It felt like she only said it for the performative "woke" points but didn't want to actually put in the work to write an authentic gay character.
