She's been loudly campaigning against trans people for years. She has repeatedly said very overtly disparaging stuff about them or anyone who defends them, and has openly given money to anti-trans groups. Not to mention that there are several unpleasant depictions of trans people in her novels; for example, in one of her detective novels, the hero threatens to have a trans woman sent to a men's prison if she doesn't cooperate, and jokes about how the other inmates would probably rape her.

Are you being deliberately dishonest or do you literally just not know anything about the situation?
