I don't think JK Rowling is anti-trans. She just doesn't think that trans women ought to have the exact same set of rights as cis women. That's not anti-trans any more than thinking men and women ought to have different rights is anti-men.

I don't think this is JK Rowling's position. JK Rowling doesn't think that trans women shouldn't have the exact same set of RIGHTS as cis women, she thinks that trans women shouldn't be able have the same set of societal privileges as cis women. This seems like a thin way to slice a hair, but I think the two ideas are distinct.
