still... Masquerading for murder is not the same as a villain trans character.

It's not, but it plays into a lot of tropes and arguments that are used to advance arguments against trans acceptance, and it's hard to give JKR the benefit of the doubt in that regard because she obviously knows what she's doing

Rowling isn't any worse than anyone else her age regarding this topic. She's pretty progressive on gay and racial issues.

This is ridiculous and frankly kind of insulting to older people. There are people older than 50 who accept trans people (hell there are people older than 50 who are trans people). Pretending they don't exist is bizarre.

Rowlings' views are more common among people in Rowlings' age group, yes. But that's not the same thing, and it shouldn't get her a pass - especially when this is an issue she has consciously chosen to speak out about. Rowling doesn't just have those views, she is actively putting them forward.
