I love the doodle lol.

She's clearly always preferred presenting as male or ambiguous gender in her pen names. She didn't publish HP under Joanne Rowling for the same reason she chose Robert Galbraith for the adult series. She wanted to be read in the genres without gender expectations.

I imagine she hasn't changed either pen name for series consistency.

I feel like it is well to keep in mind that her attitudes towards gender were formed during a time when those who were NOT white males enjoyed literary privilege.

Mister Galbraith has also said that he had gender issues as a child and would have been "transed" if he'd been a child these days. So, I feel pretty confident in saying that Mister Galbraith is a bitter old closeted transman who is unhappy they never got the chance to be wwho they are, but have gotten trapped in their public femmey persona. Sucks for him. sucks worse for everyone else with him spending all his cash to keep everyone else as miserable as they are.

I don't think so. JKR has money and power. If she wanted to transition, she could and would. She does not seem to be a man.

Exactly. If she truly was closeted she could've come out when the HP series ended, she would've been rich enough to do so. She already got backlash for making Dumbledore gay in the 00s and fundie Christians burned Harry Potter books in the late 90s, so it's not like the heat from being a trans children's book author would be something she couldn't handle.

She really doesn't seem to be trans at all. Of course, only she knows. I put her percentage at 99.9999999999 cisgender, with little room for transitioning.
She appears to be a strong woman that can handle everybody's public bullshit against her views, with or without all her cash.
