Roald Dahl's estate makes a fuck ton of money each year, his views are easily Google-able.

Matilda is very transphobic (the book has many allusions to Trunchball being a man, such as the scene when they put itching powder in her gym knickers and there's a sly line about what was really going on her in her knickers).

There are other hugely problematic elements in his books.

Wait so now we’re assuming a character is trans when Dahl never said it?

“ such as the scene when they put itching powder in her gym knickers and there's a sly line about what was really going on her in her knickers).”

Are you serious? Here’s the line from the book.

“Well,” Hortensia said, “a few days later, during prayers, the Trunchbull suddenly started scratching herself like mad down below. A-ha, I said to myself. Here we go. She’s changed for gym already. It was pretty wonderful to be sitting there watching it all and knowing that I was the only person in the whole school who realised exactly what was going on inside the Trunchbull’s pants.“

The line about “what was going inside her pants” refers to the itching powder not a penis! For fucks sake.
