Well, make sure to stop putting gas in your car and get rid or your cell phone while you’re at it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_J._K._Rowling#Transgender_rights
Some highlights:
Rowling “liked” a 2018 tweet calling transgender women “men in dresses”, which led to criticism and accusations of transphobia by her fans. Her spokesperson later told PinkNews , “I’m afraid JK Rowling had a clumsy and middle-aged moment. This is not the first time she has favourited by holding her phone incorrectly.”[67] On 19 December 2019, Rowling tweeted her support for Maya Forstater, who lost her employment with the Center for Global Development due to gender-critical views, and is the subject of Maya Forstater v Centre for Global Development (2019).[68] On 6 June 2020, Rowling criticised a Devex article’s use of the phrase “people who menstruate” instead of the word women .[69][70] She tweeted, “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased”, while also saying she was “empathetic to trans people”.[70] The media advocacy group GLAAD called the tweets “anti-trans” and “cruel”.[71][72] Several actors known for portraying Rowling’s characters either criticised her views directly or spoke out in support of trans rights, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Eddie Redmayne, Evanna Lynch, Bonnie Wright, Miriam Margolyes, and Katie Leung, as did the fansites MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron.[73][74][75][76][77][78]
In March 2022, Rowling criticised Labour party leader Keir Starmer who said “trans women are women” both in his personal opinion and according to British law. She accused him of misrepresenting the law and said that “the Labour Party can no longer be counted on to defend women’s rights”.[118] During Lesbian Visibility Week in April 2022, Rowling tweeted a picture of Allison Bailey, captioned “Allison Bailey marches for LGB rights”. In response, Linda Riley, who started the new Lesbian Visibility Week in the United Kingdom, distanced herself from Rowling’s views on transgender people and accused Rowling of using Lesbian Visibility Week “to stir up hate in our community”.[119] Rowling responded to this accusation in a tweet publicly sharing the picture of a transgender woman and commenting on her appearance.[120][121][122] In May 2022, Rowling criticised an incident where a student was hounded out of her school after questioning a speaker about what defines women.[123] The writer called the treatment of the schoolgirl “utterly shameful”, adding, “The girl’s crime? Saying ‘sex exists’.” Education secretary Nadhim Zahawi called the incident “hugely concerning” and “unacceptable”.[124] In October 2022, Rowling voiced opposition to the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill aimed at expanding the rights of transgender people, calling Nicola Sturgeon a “destroyer of women’s rights”.[125]
There’s a lot more there. What little support she’s given the trans community rings hollow given her many statements opposing transgender individuals and their rights. She gets no respect from me, period, nor will she get a cent of my money.

In her own words:
https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1518629810557394944
Look in to the story of the lady she donated to for a more clear picture.
From an interview on the crisis center she founded(expect some bias here given the source):
https://www.advocate.com/transgender/2022/12/14/jk-rowling-funds-sex-abuse-crisis-center-excludes-trans-women
Named Beira’s Place, after the Scottish goddess of winter, the center sits in a former townhouse and calls itself “Edinburgh women’s sexual assault support centre.”
...
Beira’s Place will not only not work with trans women who have survived rape and sexual assaults, but the group won't hire them either.
“Beira’s Place is a women-only service. Section 212 of the Equality Act 2010 defines a woman as a ‘female of any age’ and Beira’s Place services are for women aged 16 and over. The service is offered in accordance with the Equality Act 2010, which permits the provision of single sex services and a single sex staffing policy in various situations where there’s a good reason for them," the organization told PinkNews. “Many women subjected to men’s violence feel safer and fare better in women-only spaces, and wish to have support sessions with females only, and we exist to meet that need. We believe that women deserve to have certainty that, in using our services, they will not encounter anyone who is male.```

Actually no.
See, when the details of all the crap going on at Blizzard were revealed all the creepers and scumbags were tossed out of the company. They’re gone now, and there hasn’t been a single article since the purge of creepers and scumbags that highlights more of that same behaviour continuing.
They fixed a long standing issue and now the development teams at Blizzard are in much better places.
When J.K Rowling put her foot into a mess she created, rather than realize that what she said was wrong and apologize she doubled down and continued to do so in the years that followed. She has not changed. She has not improved. She’s still very much the same transphobe she was when this mess started.
That makes supporting her worse than supporting Blizzard.

My reply was to another poster who said she gave money to bad people so I was asking who they were. But if you want to take this subject into her views it all boils down to the definition of what is a man and what is a woman. And her view is one that is shared by a vast majority of people. If you want to take offense to that and not give her money for it that’s fine. But don’t get upset that other people don’t share that view or don’t give a flip when it comes to a video game.

No because those creepers are still in the company working and are in high levels, who protected each other. Good thing you fell for the PR stunt, keep paying the more evil company while you complain about an Authors tweets.
