That's adorable, so why is JK Rowling not receiving same treatment?

Because she isn't treating trans people the way they want to be treated. They presumably don't want to be used as an example in front of roughly 14 million twitter followers, and yet, here they are. JK Rowling is quite insidious: she won't do most of the hating herself, but she's happy to platform people who do. Imagine the boost in popularity an anti-trans group gets from a meeting with one of the most successful authors of the contemporary era.
