Independent opinion piece on JKR

First time starting a MN thread, but has anyone seen this opinion piece in the Independent? An anonymous trans person writing under a pseudonym and pedalling all the usual wilful misunderstandings about JKR and the need for single-sex spaces. It’s silly enough on it’s own but gets carried away enough to outright accuse her of Islamophobia because the Troubled Blood killer poses as a Muslim woman. I haven’t read the book but this is the first I’ve heard of anything like that. Is this even true? (Do I really need to ask?)

Wow, that independent article is awful. I hope they're not really a volunteer because it's clear they have zero understanding or empathy for so-called 'cis' women and seem to resent and blame them for wanting provision that works for them.
And the comment about Islamophobia? Does the Independent not do any fact checking at all?
