Reading her Wikipedia page, she's given huge amounts to all kinds of charities. Easy to get swept up in the whole pro/anti conversation, but even the one charity that specifically serves women only rape victims is doing good things. I just can't equate her with Musk.
JKR has a history of being a proud anti trans bigot, not just donating money to such causes, but establishing her own NGO that is explicitly anti trans [1].
She is every bit as vile a bigot as Musk is, just with less (but still more than enough) money. And on top of that, her alter ego/pen name is male ("Robert Galbraith"), so it's yet another dose of bigotry on top - appearing as a male for... whatever reason, idk.

Pro-women actually, and an unyielding advocate for women's rights, especially those women who are at their most vulnerable.
By all accounts, trans women are among the most vulnerable. They don't just have to fear rabid men like cis women, they have to fear "transvestigators" and fellow women too.
