I think the more likely reading is that JKR has been radicalised for a while, and mostly kept a lid on it by not saying anything public, but found that once she started getting vocal she couldn't keep the Reasonable Concerns mask on https://twitter.com/sineadactually/status/1280106106006765568
put another way, I don't think she genuinely descended from "I have some concerns about single sex spaces" to "trannies are hypnotising our youth with sissy porn" in two weeks; she just couldn't keep the mask half-on any longer
we know, from the incident that kicked this whole episode off, that she was in a group DM that's still breathlessly repeating accounts of the Hyde Park Scuffle years later. she's been radicalised for a while
it's also nearly 3 years since I first tweeted about JKR being transphobic, so, you know, not *that* quick, is it?
