Also, it should always be noted that she has turned out to be a shitty person. Fuck TERFs and other transphobes.
Why is she a TERF? She's articulated her position well enough, she supports trans people.
That's why her woman's help organisation in Scotland refuses to help trans women (by her order), right? And that's just ONE example.
She is a TERF because she espouses TERF ideology about how trans women "threaten" the idea of womanhood.

she refuses to accept that trans women are women because she still views them as men who just dress differently, she equates sex to gender
Now this is ridiculous. Gender clearly exists in my bed.
fuck off sealion
JKR is a garbage human being
she has proved this over and over again
she wants trans people dead.
Please show us where she has said this.
Here's two hours of a trans person explaining why JKR sucks. Should cover all the bases. And an article detailing her transphobia, using direct quotes from her if reading is more your jam.
I'll have to read that more thoroughly a bit later, but too clarify once more, this article details her own explicit wishes for trans people to die, yes? Like, she actually says that?
She does not support trans people and is one of the most prominent anti-trans personalities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmT0i0xG6zg You saying "she supports trans people" is either your credulous acceptance of propaganda machine she funds (best case) or you are part of it (worst case)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=EmT0i0xG6zg

She has offered to bank roll the legal battles of a woman who openly advocates for trans genocide, and that's only one of her most recent actions against the interests of trans people. You're right that she has articulated her position well enough, but her position is absolutely not being supportive of trans people. I suggest you take a look at these videos if you want more info on the matter:

I know it hurts to come to terms with if you were a fan of her work, but JKR is unquestionably a terf.
